Introduction by Sarah:-
This design came to me in a flash of inspiration when I went on a holiday to the Northumberland coast last year. A boat trip to the Farne Islands made me fall in love with these fascinating birds, and I just had to make one for myself. So I set about designing this appliqué project. This project is a fun and easy introduction to appliqué and is suitable for all levels of experience. I will be showing you how to make this into a pillow or cushion with an envelope back, but you could choose to make it into a panel for a bag or a quilt. I will go through all the options with you during the class. This cute little character is all about fun, fun, fun, so I very much hope you'll grab some scraps and join us!...
