Seaside, a Barbara Persing Collection by Aurifil

“Never hold yourself to one style, or one technique of quilting; dare yourself to step outside your quilting box and become a one of a kind artist.” – Barbara Persing

Celebrated fiber artist Barbara Persing invites you to embrace creative expression and step outside your quilting comfort zone. Known for her inspiring teaching style, Barbara is kicking off 2025 with a brand new Block of the Month (BOM) program that will spotlight her signature appliqué techniques in a vibrant, modern avian quilt.

Introducing Seaside, a 10-month journey that features 22 stunning coastal birds. Designed to guide quilters of all levels into the world of machine appliqué, this program uses Barbara’s easy-to-follow numbering system and trusted fusible web products. As you bring these birds to life, you’ll also discover the versatility and precision of Aurifil thread.

To complement this creative adventure, Barbara has curated a coordinating thread set featuring 12 large spools of Aurifil’s 100% cotton 40wt thread—her go-to choice for flawless machine appliqué.
