AN APPLIQUE MASTERCLASS BY THE RENOWNED ARTIST HERSELF
A fully-guided tour with Deb Louie, the decorative quilt artist, as your tutor and Jacky Wyatt from Wacky Jacky’s Textiles as your host.
Deb Louie is passionate about quilt. She has shared her love of domestic machine quilting through comprehensive class and books, and inspiring textile art projects.
And this time, it is your time to enjoy Deb’s unique machine decorative stitch applique techniques.
Learn the difference between layered applique and stacked applique flowers while using the beautiful decorative stitches on your sewing machine.
Play with the family of flowers to create your own composition for a cushion or medallion centre for a quilt.
The outside edge is sketch free motion appliqued with vines of bias or machine chain stitched.
You will be using Wacky Jacky’s sewing machines, but the aim is to teach you to move outside your square when it comes to using domestic sewing machines, and utilizing the stitches available on your machines at home.
This is a fun retreat where you will learn lots of new techniques.
Our 2022 Brisbane retreat with Deb Louie was selling faster than hot cakes, so don’t miss out to get knowledge from the best while enjoying Bali!

Please be aware that the first day of your retreat and the last day of your retreat are travel days. For example, this retreat starts on 8 to 19 July 2024, which means 8 July is the day you fly in, and 19 July is the day you fly out.
Please aim to land in Bali early afternoon on your first day, and exit Bali in the early evening / late night on the last day.
If your flight is out of these times, an AUD$45 (per car) transfer fee is applicable.
If you wish to fly in earlier we will pick you up from the airport on your arrival and bring you to the hotel in Candidasa (and book extra nights for you – at your cost). This service is an additional AUD$45 per car. We can also pick you up on the first day from a hotel that you have booked yourself (within Kuta, Legian, or Sanur within the above times) – as we will be on the way to the airport, and can stop in and pick you up.
Once you know your flight times, let me know and we can work from there.
