Have you admired Baltimore Album quilts? Been overwhelmed by just the thought of how many hours or months go into making one? Well, this is NOT a traditional Baltimore Album quilt! None of that nasty handwork. We will be using machine applique and machine embroidery -- ALL done on the machine. This is easy embroidery, with blocks set on point, and a few miters. The embroideries all fit in a 130 mm hoop. 4 lessons. Intermediate level. Embroidery collection purchase required.

Your machine stitches show on the outside? Again, who cares! Throw caution to the wind and play with Rosemarie. This addictive technique is a stash wacker, to boot.
