Inspirational Landscape Quilting with Sharon Bottle Souva

3-Day Workshop with Sharon Bottle Souva

Friday – Sunday, September 18-20, 2026, 9am-4pm

You will love this class if you have been looking for reliable, easy techniques that open a path to creative outcomes.  Fill blocks, medallions, borders or whole cloth projects with personal symbols, motifs, people or places that you love.  Organic Applique is all about considering the importance of contrast used to create line and shape, light and shade while making interesting fabric choices, easy applique methods and design elements Those new or unsure about applique will build confidence and acquire skills while those more experienced with applique will enjoy tweaking what they know to be more personal.  Join me for a fun week of care free creativity!   I am currently working on a new project based on one of my dad’s quotes, “If you don’t know where you are going any road will get you there.”  I love how this approach works with Organic Applique.  If they start with the right materials something always happens!! 

Skills Level: all levels, however, some knowledge of sewing with free-motion quilting is helpful.

Non-Members $390 / Members $380
