Spend some cozy, creativity-filled time stitching your own charming penny rug in this hands-on appliqué class. Penny rugs are a beloved folk art tradition, known for their layered wool circles, simple embroidery stitches, and playful, homespun designs.
In this class, you’ll learn the fundamentals of wool appliqué, including how to select and layer fabrics, cut clean shapes, and secure them using classic decorative stitches like the blanket stitch. We’ll talk about color combinations, pattern placement, and how to give your piece that warm, vintage feel penny rugs are known for.
All materials are provided (or feel free to bring a favorite pair of sharp scissors and any wool scraps you’d like to incorporate). You’ll leave with a finished—or nearly finished—penny rug and the skills to keep creating at home.
