style. Join us on this adventure to learn the history of these
beautiful quilts and a little about the lives of their
makers. This is an intermediate/advanced appliqué class so

that she has decided to teach this project one more time! The
original pattern makes an 18" x 18" portfolio-style carrier but

large Baltimore Album blocks better. She carries her appliqué
blocks in her carriers (she now has 4!) but any blocks or quilt
in progress will fee special in this carrier. If you would like
Leslie to provide the precut pieces of foam core board needed
for this project, please let her know. There will be a fee
collected in class for this service. This will be the last time for
