Sandy Fitzpatrick of Hissyfitz Designs creates whimsical, easy to follow fusible applique patterns inspired by the quirky ideas spinning in her head, drawing on a lifetime of sewing—from clothing and smocked dresses to quilts—as she evolved from traditional piecing to her own playful applique style after years of Air Force moves and now happily living in Cary, North Carolina.

I am excited to invite you to join Sandy Fitzpatrick for a half-day Zoom workshop where you will choose your own project to master both fusible and non-fusible machine applique. You will learn to conquer the "A" word with ease while expanding your skills in satin-stitching, blanket stitching, and utilizing decorative machine stitches.

You can find the perfect pattern for this class on Sandy’s website at hissyfitzdesigns.com.
