Join award-winning quilter Linda Neal for a 6day / 5 night retreat filled with applique, embellishments, and inspiration! Retreat cost is $450. Instruction fee is $160 and is due on arrival. Check or cash only please. Bring an applique block or quilt that is in progress or start a new project as you learn how to make perfect circles, curves, sharp points, deep V's, stems, skinny stems, and very, very skinny stems (Linda's own technique). This class teaches the prepared edge technique using freezer paper, starch, and a small iron. Each piece is glue basted to the background in preparation for hand stitching. The class will also include hands-on embellishment demonstrations: organza ribbon candy wrapper, silk ribbon, and embroidery stitches, ric-rac, buttons, beads, ultrasuede, and English paper pieced flowers. All demonstrations are optional - it's YOUR retreat!
