During this workshop on the first day you will work on a handbag designed by Leesa, inspired by  Under the Australian Sun II fabric, which will include 3D flowers. On the second day you will be working on  a wall hanging - 4D Eucalypts This is a new workshop Leesa has created to produce a wall hanging in one day. 1D - Raw Edge appliquéd gum leaves onto background 2D - Overlayed Organza with stitched gum leaves on it 3D - Batting Added and Quilted leaves and detail added 4D - Loose gum leaves are created and added with gum flowers over the top.

Leesa will also be teaching for Berrima Patchwork's Quilting in the Highlands Retreat on Saturday 27th and Sunday 28th July : Geisha in the Moonlight. CLICK HERE  for further details about this class.

Geisha In The Moonlight

This is a stunning quilt that Leesa has designed featuring needleturn applique and several other hand sewing methods.
On the first day you willwork on the border blocks first to learn needleturn, 3D work, paper piecing, bias making, stem stump work and cherry blossoms. On the second day you will review what was covered on day one and then work on the Geisha. All techniques are demonstrated, keeping in mind that the Geisha is all needleturn and 3D/bagged out work, so much simpler than Day 1! General techniques are also covered such as transferring patterns onto background, quilt as you go techniques to assemble the quilt and all that cool stuff you don't get in the pattern.
