Once the pieces are on, quilt in a few swirls. I gave the freemotion quilting a good try, then I brought it home and used my longarm... I know, I cheated! But I did learn another fun way to applique! A unique designer, we're bound to see more of Kellie's "Don't Look Now" designs... patterns... classes... and even a line of fabrics for Riley Blake Designs coming next Spring. I first found her on this Board, with one of her quilts in a picture of "Doll Quilts" in the header. Here's her website: http://dontlooknow.typepad.com/dont_...-fabric-1.html What's your favorite method of applique? |
Love that, but it is one of those things I cannot imagine ever doing myself except maybe on a small wall hanging- on things that are made to be used, doesn't the fabric ravel when you have to wash it?
Well done, your work is beautiful. |
Very pretty. I'm just learning to applique but I must try this. Can you tell me if you can wash this method of applique in the washer?
Thanks, Mary |
very pretty....love it
