Can someone tell me whether there is an easier way to make an applique quilt than TRACING all the pieces. I'm making several blocks from McKenna Ryan's patterns & the most tedious part is tracing the patterns onto fusible interfacing. If that's the only way to do it, I will continue but if someone has a better way, I'd like to hear it!! Thanks!

She had seen the article in the McCall's Quilting Magazine! And....Guess What!?!!!? She asked me if I would consider going to Joplin and be their guest speaker at their quilt guild meeting on Oct 19th!!!!! So, I am!!!
She said that she thinks I'd be a good inspiration to the quilters there and she would love to know what possessed me to enter a national competition, especially since I haven't quilted very long! Plus, she's amazed that I made my own pattern to sell too. I told her that the contest was recommended to me by a friend here on the quilting board. She also gets on here, but said she just reads it. She would like me to tell people about this website too, as it is great! I am going to ask Admin to make sure that it is alright. I don't see why it wouldn't be though. Can you believe this??? I couldn't!!! I had to get on the phone and call all my friends and family to tell them. I'd just called to let them know that I made it to the next round the day before! I'm probably NOT going to like my phone bill next month! LOL I am also going to be compensated for coming! So! How's that for some interesting news? Thanks for voting for me and all the support and positive feedback I get on here! I really appreciate it! Thanks too for listening! Happy Quilting! Marilyn CONGRATULATIONS :thumbup: Marilyn |

Congratulations! Wish I could be there!

Congratulations on your success. You are an inspiration to everyone who wants to quilt. Support from this site is one of the greatest I've seen ever, but it starts with you and getting out of your comfort zone.
So glad to see that you are not backing down and you've set some goals. I am proud of you. Enjoy your new found hobby and post all your pics here. We would love to see your progress. I, too have been quilting a little over 2 years and my quilts have gotten better with each quilt I make. My quilting has become part of me and I always want to challenge myself with intricate new patterns. Enjoy your trip and fill us in when you get back. |
That is awesome! I just looked at your quilt. It is beautiful! Is that one you made your own pattern for? Amazing accomplishment. Congratulations! :thumbup:
|
What kind of applique quilt are you making? There are some other ways to do applique. Have you looked at some of Eleanor Burns quilts, she does a sew and turn with fusible interfacing on the back of the applique pieces.
|
Can't wait to see what you do for the next round. We have such talented people here on the board!!!
|
Fantastic! Good for you!!

Such Awesome News!!!
|
Alright everybody. I'm getting a little nervous. I don't know what to talk about other than the QB and the McCalls contest. I hope I don't mess this all up!!! Thanks for your support and well wishes!

Congratulations!!!!!!

Don't worry about it. Quilters just like to hear what and how you do things. Just remember if the nerves start picture the quilters in their underwear.

Hi everybody. I have permission to tell people what the second challenge is. I didn't want to post this unless I knew that it was alright. It is.
They sent us 10 Robert Kaufman fat quarters of material. We have to use at least 8 of them in our quilt. We can't purchase more of their materials to match. (Only use what they sent.) We can use as many other fabrics as we like. They fabrics they sent to us though, have to comprise at least 50% of the quilt top. So, that's basically it. Aren't you curious as to what they are going to look like? I am. |
I'm very curious and can't wait to see what you come up with. I'm sure it will be beautiful no matter what you do. Best of luck tho I'm sure you won't need it.

CONGRATULATIONS!! Way to Go!!
