Quilt Ikebana

A few years ago after learning about the centuries old Japanese art of flower arranging known as Ikebana at a museum exhibition, I began using some of the principles of this wonderful art form for my floral applique quilts. I call these Quilt Ikebana.  In this class I'll give a brief introduction to Ikebana and you will construct an arrangement from fabric based on the principles. Patterns are provided for a vase, calla lilies, fern and cat tails to begin the 24" x 36" Summer Ikebana quilt shown. Sewing machines are not needed for the class. You'll receive complete instructions to complete the machine applique quilt at home. Confident   beginner/intermediate skill level.
