DreamWeaver's Quilts Quilt Epiphany Weblog

I decided last weekend that I should put together a class on satin stitch fusible applique. I came up with this wonderfully lovely method some time back, which got slightly buried by developing material for The Book. I set out to create some sort of simple design that could work in a 3 hour class [...]

I gathered the loot from the AQS Show back up so I could share! Here’s the first batch: Looking at it all now, I’m sure it’s not terribly exciting to anyone but me, but I’ll tell you what it all is anyway. From the top center, sort of counterclockwise, we have: Something called a Waterbrush, [...]
