Description:  Come join me for a ''joyous'' applique class and so much more! Learn my easy no-prep needle turn applique method while visiting with the antique original and several other wonderful antique applique treasures from the Starley collection. Learn how to make authentic looking reproduction quilts. A delightful class combining beautiful antique quilts, sewing, quilt history, and FUN! When I discovered the. inspirational antique Rose of Sharon quilt, I was immediately enchanted and I christened it "Quilted Joy" as every busy inch exudes joyfulness and makes one smile. Full of charming details: from the happy birds and berries to the unique floral border. From that first moment, I wanted to recreate it and you will want to join in too
