Applique is Not a 4-Letter Word

In the world of quilting, Applique often falls into the "Love it" or "Hate it" categories. M&M dismantles stereotypes by demonstrating how even a touch of Applique can transform a quilt. Join us as we discuss various Applique types, their benefits, and drawbacks. This interactive lecture, complemented by a trunk show, unveils quilts that evolved from pretty to extraordinary with just a hint of Applique. We're not trying to convert you into "Appliquers" – our goal is to showcase Applique's unique place in quilt design.

Best Intentions – An Old-Fashioned Bed Turning

Delve into the world of unfinished quilts with "Best Intentions." Despite starting with enthusiasm, not every quilt reaches completion. Explore finished quilts that honor the original maker's intentions, offering a unique perspective on quilting through the ages.

Quilters, unite! Discover the art of managing scraps with M&M. In this interactive lecture and trunk show, we share practical tips on what to keep, how to store, and when to use those beloved fabric scraps. Brace yourself for the introduction of "floor fabric" – because, yes, it's a thing.

I have taken many classes from M&M and have learned so much. They really never cease to amaze me with their tips and tricks to make everything easy, but yet have the "WOW" factor. I just recently attended a lecture Wrangle Your Scraps and was so inspired went home and started arranging my scraps. Thank you ladies for sharing your wealth of knowledge with us. Love you girls keep up the great work. Can't wait for the next class

MM Sew Charming was created by Mary and Marjorie (M&M) as a way for quilters to gather and share a common interest, a common language, a common love of fiber and color. While our focus is quilting, we also provide lectures, demonstrations, and classes on many things related to fabric and other fibers. Thank you for being part of our community and for allowing us to be part of yours. We hope to share our enthusiasm, our passion, our combined 90+ years of experience, and our expertise with tools of the trade (especially the seam ripper).
