Description: Our Baltimore-inspired applique series continues with blocks with Rita’s Liberty Bell design. In this class Rita will teach fabric selection, needle-turn applique, and inking techniques. These workshops may be taken independently and are great for everyone from beginners to seasoned appliquers who want to perfect their skills. Patterns for this class must be ordered directly from Rita (they are not available digitally). See the supply list for details to order patterns and optional kits.
“Patchwork of the Crosses” designed by Lucy Boston is a pattern constructed with elongated hexagons (honeycombs) and squares. This is a fabulous block for showcasing your favorite fabrics with fussy cutting. This class is designed for all skill levels. We will cover fabric selection, fussy cutting, glue basting, and fat back stitching. We’ll explore fussy cutting in depth using Tina’s technique called The Wonder Window! The class handout will include several setting options. Students will be provided with PDF and SVG template files. Optional pre-cut templates are available for purchase from Tina – see supply list for ordering information.
This “astonishing leap forward in quilting” (Bethanne Nemesh, White Arbor Quilting) has “redefined what a quilt is” (Cindy Seitz-Krug, Quintessential Quilting) and “started a whole new trend in the quilting world” (Luana Rubin, eQuilter.com). Now you can learn the technique that has captured the imagination of these quilting professionals and so many others!
In this class, you will learn how to make turned-edge appliqué shapes that are completely free-standing without a background. Each shape is a hand-sewn layered quilt with batting and backing, leaving the spaces between the shapes totally open. The Mahogany Rose circular block design can stand alone or be joined to others for a larger quilt.
An optional kit is available for purchase for CAD$16.99 at https://kathykwylie.com/product/mahogany-rose-kit/. Kit includes pre-cut interfacing templates for one Mahogany Rose block; 12-inch square of batting; and a printed copy of the instruction booklet handout. Orders must be received by November 1st, 2025 to allow time for shipping. Supply list
