Applique Treasures: Sue Makinen

We've always known our greatest treasure is our quilt community. We have a new person who personifies that!
Sue Makinen has joined us as a teacher and staff.



Sue does the most amazing hand applique. And she's going to teach us in her beginning applique class.
Sue does her applique by hand, but she has some great tricks with patterns and starch that make it all work so much better.


Sue has worked with Kim Diehl, making a quilt called Checkard Past that Kim included in her book, Simple Charm.
Here's the great applique project we'll do in her class on Saturday May 3rd, at 10:30-3.
You'll find Sue, and the Simple Charm book at Threadbenders, waiting for you.
