Indulge your passion for appliqué! Share four amazing days together with Jeanne Sullivan as you recreate the classic charm of Hope Sings, a Northcott Challenge winner. The detailed, intricate look of the design is accomplished simply by using fabric prints and basic embroidery stitches to their best advantage. Include this stunning block in your fanciest album quilt or highlight it as a center medallion.

Whether you're a seasoned stitcher or just beginning your appliqué adventure, you'll take your needle skills to the next level with Jeanne's easy, precision techniques for getting great results. You'll learn to master truly invisible stitches, Broderie Perse, reverse appliqué, fine embroidery embellishment and more! Explore ''reading'' fabric beyond the obvious for unique and creative visual effects.

The cameos offer a special opportunity to make the design your own! It's not too early to begin thinking about what to feature in yours! The cherubs in the sample block are fussy cut from printed fabric. You might like to feature a floral appliqué motif or, perhaps, some birds. Using a photo transfer, you can easily feature your own images to commemorate a birth, wedding, anniversary or other memorable occasion.

Each day promises to be filled with tips and tricks to make your needle sing! Take your vitamins…You'll hit the ground running! Count on lots of stitching fun, lots of learning and lots of wonderful forever memories!
