Inspirational Landscape Quilting with Sharon Bottle Souva

3-Day Workshop with Sharon Bottle Souva

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

Participants in this workshop will work with their own inspirational photo, painting or imagination to create a unique wall quilt. By breaking down their inspirational photo or picture to its basic design elements students will use fused appliqué and free motion quilting to realize their vision. Quilts are made in a collage method on a quilted background. Machine quilting completes and enhances the design elements. Some hand stitching may be included to complete the design. This class is a dive into the art of landscape quilts.

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