  Applique 3 Ways with Audra Rasnake 

  Audra is a fourth-generation quilter and grew up literally underneath a quilt frame. She’s been hand quilting for 30 years and has been doing needle turned appliqué for 20 years. She considers herself a traditional quilter. She began teaching hand quilting, EPP, and needle turned appliqué about 10 years ago and then, in 2014, decided to enter the world of competition quilting. Audra has won many ribbons at national shows since then, many for her hand quilting. One of her greatest passions is folded cutwork. She uses appliqué in every quilt she does. Audra enjoys helping beginners overcome their fear of the dreaded “A” word. 

  This is a two-day workshop.  On Thursday, Audra will teach French Boutis in the morning and needle turned applique in the afternoon.  A day long workshop on Friday, will consist of creating a Celtic Applique piece. 

  Supply list is to come.
