be finished. Done and ready to use. This final step of binding
your piece is exciting, but must not be rushed. In class you will
learn how to trim and baste the edges of your quilt and how to
make and apply binding that will complete your quilt with a
professional look.

When Ruth Ann saw this beautiful quilt at International Quilt
Festival, she knew she just had to learn more about it. The book,
Flowers, Hearts and Garlands, is a guide to creating this quilt.
Written by quiltmaker Liz Jones, it details a new way to make
machine appliquéd quilts without fusing. It’s fun, it’s easy and
it’s so accurate. If you love machine appliqué, or even if you’ve
never tried it, this class is for you. Come join in the fun!
