SUPPLY LIST ❖ Garden Song Book from Art-to-Heart (Bloom Pillow EXCEPT I chose to make a wall quilt instead of a pillow. The fabric amounts below are for a quilt made like the class sample. If you wish to make the pillow, see page 8 in the book for fabric amounts. We will NOT work on quilt construction OR pillow construction in class. We will focus only on the machine applique’ aspect of the project.) ❖ 100% cotton fabric o

7/8 yd. for backing – you will not need this for class
