All Levels - The class will meet for 7-hour session with a break for lunch.

We’ll Make three quick, easy ornaments to twinkle on your tree this holiday season and learn three techniques!

We’ll start with the Mini-Star of Wonder, where you get two ornaments for the labor of one: it’s made with Machine Reverse Appliqué and Appli-quilting. Then we use the cut-outs from the first star to make a second, Machine Appliqué ornament!

Reverse appliqué gives an elegant, dimensional look using just two fabrics. The design is created in the background fabric peeking out of the top fabric. It’s simple, but very effective, and takes no time at all when you do it by machine.

Be empowered to machine reverse appliqué the Mini-Star of Wonder block. Learn the quick and easy steps of Eye of the Beholder’s Trace! Iron! Snip! & Stitch! process and get pointers on how to satin stitch for consistent results.

What two fabrics will you choose? Red & Green, Blue & Gold, White & Gold?

Next, we’ll paper-piece the charming so its sharp points can sparkle on your tree!

Paper-piecing is a fun, easy way to get sharp points, even tiny ones, that all line up. Simply follow the numbers on the paper-piecing foundation sheet and voila! You’re done. Gain paper-piecing confidence as you stitch & flip the Mini-Star of Light block with the tips and tricks Margaret shares.

Choose 3 fabrics to make your Mini-Star of Light shine from the highest boughs of your tree. Will you choose classic red, gold & green or Blue, gold and yellow?

It’s so fun and easy to make the 2 Mini-Star of Wonder and Mini-Star of Light ornaments. You’ll want to make a tree full of them and give them as gifts.

These star ornament patterns were first introduced in Christmas RAPPing by Margaret Brewster Willingham and Nan Baker and are now excerpted in the Twinkling Star Ornaments pattern.

This workshop will be taught by author/ pattern designer, Margaret Brewster Willingham, of Eye of the Beholder Quilt Designs.
