Think Fall (Autumn) and Plan ahead

New Hand Appliqué Class Taught by Paula Dornenburg

Paula will be teaching a 2 or 3 session class on the different techniques used to do beautiful hand appliqué. The classes will meet on Saturday afternoons. The book Simply Successful Applique by Jeanne Sullivan will be required and is the basis for this class. More information will be available soon, but start thinking about this wonderful opportunity.

Paula has over 15 years applique experience and has had her work featured in the October 2020 Baltimore Applique Society newsletter. Her quilt “A Legacy Intertwined” was accepted in the special exhibits at the Houston International Quilt Festival in 2021 and most recently won Best of Show and 1st place at the Kansas City Regional Quilt Festival in 2023. She had the great privilege of studying under Wanda Hizer while living in Marietta GA from 2006-2016 where she learned Baltimore Album techniques taught from Elly Sienkiewicz’s books. She has continued her studies under several other instructors as well, learning Broderie Perse which has now become a new love of hers. Teaching others the fine art of needle turn hand applique is a passion that Paula looks forward to sharing with her students. Paula is a member of the Baltimore Applique Society (BAS), The Applique Society (TAS), and the Kaw Valley Quilt Guild.
