Come along with quilt artist Heather Thomas to learn all about this fun technique of creating quilted surfaces to make art quilts, computer carriers, purses and even garments.

This is a wonderful way to explore color and texture as well as a great opportunity to use all of the decorative stitches you have on your machine.

With just a little bit of iron-on adhesive (and no piecing) your efforts will yield a delightfully unique quilted surface to use as is or to create other items with. This is a great new technique to add to your tool box!

Also included is a class project PDF so you can create your own crazy quilted accessory cover.
