1002C - Paris, Je T'Aime: A Dual Technique Journey

From 8:30 am to 3:30 pm

Fee $168.00

Skill Level: All Levels

Description: In this immersive 6-hour workshop, students will explore the artful union of Foundation Paper Piecing (FPP) and Appliqué to construct a breathtaking quilt block that celebrates the charm and elegance of Paris. Inspired by the iconic landmarks and hidden beauty of the City of Light, this class invites quilters to create a stunning visual “love letter” using two distinct but harmonious techniques.

Through the FPP portion of the course, students will sharpen their skills in:
--Mastering precise point alignment and sharp angles
--Confidently assembling irregular and intricate shapes
--Understanding seam orientation for clean, seamless joins
--Strategically placing and positioning fabric for strong visual impact

Then, shifting to Appliqué, participants will learn:
--How to prepare turned-edge shapes using freezer paper and starch
--Layering techniques to build dimensional, dynamic compositions
--Placement and orientation strategies for smooth integration with FPP backgrounds
--Best practices for secure, invisible stitching with clean edges

Whether it's piecing the Eiffel Tower with geometric precision or layering petals in a Parisian garden café, this class offers the tools and techniques to bring each motif to life with clarity, beauty, and confidence.

By the end of the workshop, students will walk away with a partially completed quilt block that showcases the heart of Paris, and the confidence to apply these skills to their future projects.
