Mini Bargello Sunflower Workshop
Perfect precision is not required to create this stunning sunflower.
With my expert instruction, you will explore the world of colour to select fabrics for the flower, cut and sew your strips, and arrange your strips to create a wave-like effect (the Bargello). Transform the Bargello into an amazing sunflower adding the finishing touches with free motion zigzag.
Whether you’re a seasoned quilter or a beginner, you’ll leave this workshop with a beautiful Bargello Sunflower quilt that you can proudly display in your home.
Pattern purchase required.

Jen taught our Guild a virtual class via zoom over 3 days-1 short intro and 2 days of class. We had homework in between our sessions Supporting emails with patterns and instructions were great as were the online demonstrations & instruction. Jen answered questions as we worked and she was very responsive to questions we emailed her. The Guild is already considering booking another virtual class.
Note: There is also a 3-5 day class available based upon my Bargello Sunflower or Bargello Dahlia patterns which focuses on creating a larger flower and finished project.
