I then I reduced the size of the daisy motif and free motion quilted around the word and stitched in the ditch around the flowers and the white section for the name.  I wanted to s ..read more

I had an awesome time Saturday teaching at Triangle Sewing in Guelph a Landscape Mini Quilt Class, the technique was hand appliqué .  It was a great class to play, touch and ooh and awe over landscape fabrics and learn how to appliqué in such a way that the stitches are invisible.   We all had lots of fun, participants seemed to love the potential of this skill and fabric & said they would make more of these.  Thanks to all 4 ladies who participated Wendy, Mary, Kirsten and Emily you made the start of my teaching year for 2024 fun!  Below are some photos of the cla ..read more
