She will have a few samples of each technique to view as well as showing you how they are created.
English Paper Piecing : Sometimes referred to asd EPP, is a form of quilt making that uses paper templates to wrap fabric around and hand sew into a mosaic style of design. It’s a great method for fussy cutting fabric and highlighting a motif or design from fabric.
Stamped Quilt Piecing: Rubber stamps to provide more precision to making your quilt templates. Rubber stamp templates have both a cutting and a sewing line for accuracy . Most sewn together by hand. Some do use machines to sew some together. Similar to EPP, but no paper needed.
Hand Applique : Applique is ornamental needlework in which pieces or patches of fabric are sewn onto a larger background fabric to create a picture or design. Creating motifs and designs from layers of fabric. There are many ways to produce applique by hand or machine depending on the desired effect.
Broderie Perse: Popular in the late 18th century it is French for Persian Embroidery. A technique where elements , such as flowers, birds, animals….are cut from fabric and applique onto another background.
