Hi, I have quilted sporadically over the years. But, I want to improve techniques, try new things, I have mitered a little but need more guidance to iron out any kinds. I have been exposed to FMQ and want this at the top of my Priority List. I'd like to do some applique. I would like to learn how to add texture so as to give the look of two and three dimensional projects. Like arts type quilts, but haven't done either. How to lay out, how to create illuision of dimension. Wish my mentor could be from Texas so we could get together.Will be starting a Jo's Little Quilt in May and am currently working on two diff colorways of same pattern. I would like to make an effort at hand piecing, too. Thanks!!
