A little bit about Angela.

Artist Angela Lawrence has created a wide ranging number of appliqué designs that take quilting from ordinary into the extraordinary. Her hand-crafted art has an inspiring beauty that draws from a variety of influences, including floral and natural elements.

Angela has taught needleturn appliqué in Iowa, Illinois and Minnesota since 1998. With a degree in education, it was only natural that her love of teaching and passion for quilting would draw her back to the classroom teaching beginning through advanced appliqué workshops. Angela enjoys all aspects of quilting but her passion is needleturn appliqué.

"Creative Hand Embroidery Stitching"

Join Angela for six, 2 - hour class sessions to discover the world of creative hand embroidery stitching. These stitches can be used to embellish both cotton and wool applique'.

Demonstrations and hands-on application of the stitches will be included in each of the six two- hour sessions. The class fee includes instruction and a project kit. The kit includes a 1/2 yard of graph fabric, a full- size diagram of Angela's exclusive pattern design just for this class, the background fabric, as well as 9 balls of Perle cotton threads in a beautiful array of colors of your choice to complete your hand-stitching project. Once you have completed your project design Angela will show you how to back and bind your project to make this into a beautiful wall hanging, table topper or pillow.
