This intricate quilt is made with needle turn hand appliqué techniques and embellishments, making it a great learning experience for creating detail in future projects. Not ready to take on a quilt? Try your hand at a winter-themed table runner!

The focus is on both needle turn and wool hand appliqué techniques. Learn the invisible stitch with needle turn and the whip stitch with wool. In both, learn how to sew inner and outer points, inner curves and outer curves, and circles.

What sets this quilt, and this class, apart are the less-common techniques that are great to add to your skill set. Learn how to construct and overlay shapes off-the-block.
