Irene Blanck - Applique/Piecing

Irene Blanck resides in Melbourne, Australia.  She has been quilting for the last 30 years and started designing in 2007. She enjoys teaching and instilling in quilters the love for needleturn applique. Her classes are fun and stress-free… students can relax and learn a new technique. Irene’s workshops focus on hand sewing, needleturn, prepared edge and “template” applique, foundation piecing and machine piecing. Irene teaches all the short-cuts she’s learned over the years - mostly from making and learning from her own mistakes. She has taught extensively in the USA, Europe and in Australia. Also, Irene has been extremely fortunate to have had a book published by Quiltmania in 2015 – called “Focus on Applique.”
