Join master quilter Marline Turner for a gentle and inspiring introduction to Needle Turn appliqué.
Learn how to create beautifully smooth curved stems, crisp pointed leaves, vibrant flowers, and perfectly round berries - all by hand. Using Marline’s supplied original pattern, you can start small with a cushion or begin the centre block of a future quilt. She’ll guide you through expanding the design by adding corners and designing simple yet striking borders to build your own Masterpiece Quilt.
A must for anyone wanting to explore the joy and finesse of hand appliqué in a calm and encouraging environment.
