During the visit, I also stopped at  The Quilting Needle, a great shop in Glensaw, PA. I'm pictured here with the delightful owner, Rhonda.

Later this month, I'll be joining the Wiregrass Quit Guild in Georgia to teach my Perfect Placement appliqué techniques and the basics of needle turn appliqué. This class is for new hand appliquérs or experienced appliquérs who want to hone their skills.

If you've ever fumbled for a needle while preparing to hand stitch, you know how handy it would be to have a little needle book to keep your needles organized by category, once they leave the packaging. You can finish this fun little wool appliqué and embroidered needle book in our one-day class.

Stitcher's Needle Book

Saturday, June 23, 10am to 3:30pm

at Cinnamon's Quilt Shoppe, Jacksonville, FL

Information

This month I am working on a sampler of embroidery and embellishing techniques for an upcoming class at Cinnamon's. I can't wait to share a photo of the class project with you.

One of my go-to books when deciding on ribbon techniques is another of Elly Sienkiewicz's books, Romancing Ribbons into Flowers. The book elegantly features numerous techniques and simple, effective methods for a myriad of ribbon embellishments. I'm featuring some on my class sampler. I hope that you too will have fun using the lessons from this book to romance ribbon into beautiful flowers!
