Missie Carpenter

"English Wedding"

​

This class will teach you English Paper Piecing using Missie’s unique method of basting EPP on day one, and the basics of Cotton and Wool Applique on day two.   The project is the quilt English Wedding finishing at 65.5” square.  The wedding ring block was the inspiration for this quilt.  The block was adapted to an English Paper Piecing quilt in a primitive style with a mixture of layered woolens and cottons.  The wedding ring quilt block is such a cherished design for quilters.  This version is unique using the hexie shapes!  Missie’s technique of basting English Paper Piecing with starch and special freezer paper makes the piecing a breeze!  You will learn how Missie prefers to layer the wool with cotton and you will be presented with several options for fabric preparation, adhesion and several stitches to applique the pieces onto the background.
