Shannon Brinkley
Come to our Studio to learn Shannon Brinkley’s simple and fun, raw-edge Scrappy Applique technique, basic quilting techniques, and basic free motion quilting. This workshop is perfect for beginner quilters, as well as more advanced quilters interested in learning this raw-edge applique technique. You’ll have a blast choosing beautiful fabric that, once collaged together, creates a striking and modern look. Students will take away the finished or nearly finished quilt top!
Students will choose from a variety of Shannon’s “Scrappy Applique Patterns.” Her patterns can be purchased at the Studio the day of the workshop or ordered, downloaded, and printed beforehand from her website.
