workshop

Adding to my own message. I just wanted to emphasize that she has many more quilts to show than just the ones on her website. Several of those have follow up pieces. Like the pond in different seasons. Can you tell I'm still pumped up? KJ

Those quilts are something else! When do we get to see your WIP?

Hummm, maybe when I get it unpacked and trimmed up a little bit. My stuff is still in the car. It was amost 10pm last night when I got home from our guild meeting. I didn't even come home between the workshop and the meeting because I'm on the program committee and helped set up for the auction we had last night. By the way, if any of you are on your guild's program committee, it's great fun to get a professional auctioneer to sell items that members bring in to donate. And I'm sure we made a pretty good chunk of change!! My project is three leaves and a stem. That's what I really enjoyed about her class though. We probably spent an equal amount of time being TAUGHT to the amount of time sitting at our machines sewing. I loved that.

KJ, I've seen her stuff in books. Does she just fuse down the cut pieces, or does she sew under edges or something? The designs don't look like they have fuzzy edges, but I can't tell looking t hrough a book.

No fusing whatsoever. She has a method of topstitch applique. Certain edges of each pattern piece are turned under and then stitched with a blindstitch to one that is under it. Clear as mud, huh? I guess that's why the class was so informative. Freezer paper and stabilizer are key components to the process. And an iron! KJ
