I have made many of her quilts. I am currently working on her wildflower quilt (the second one) for a friend. You will need to purchase an applique pressing sheet, and I find that the Clover mini iron very helpful. You lay the pattern under the sheet and fuse the parts together before applying them to the background fabric. They will peel off the sheet as a unit. I use invisible thread and stitch very close to the edge of the pieces with a short stitch length. I do this as part of the quilting process.
