Skill Level: All Levels

Description: I have completely fallen in love with puffins. There is just something about those tiny birds, standing on rugged sea cliffs with the wind ruffling their feathers, that makes me smile every time I see them. After spending far too many evenings watching videos of puffins along the coastlines of Scotland and Ireland, I finally gave in and designed a quilt inspired by them.
Puffin Paradise is a 60" × 60" landscape quilt that brings together three of my favorite techniques. The quilt is built with Foundation Paper Piecing, accented with sweet English Paper Pieced flowers, and finished with appliqué that adds softness and dimension to the foreground.
During class, I will walk you through the process I use to tackle quilts like this without feeling overwhelmed. We will cover everything from organizing Foundation Paper Piecing sections and achieving crisp, accurate points to joining larger units with confidence. Along the way, you will also learn how to create the English Paper Pieced flowers and layer the appliqué so the landscape comes to life.
This class is designed for quilters who enjoy learning new techniques while creating something a little whimsical. It is a project that balances precision with creativity, and by the end of class you will have all the skills you need to continue bringing your own little colony of puffins to life.
