Happy 2014 everyone!
Where did 2013 go?
As for me, 2013 was a whirlwind of excitement for me.
I got to travel, teach and lecture for some amazing quilt guilds and quilt shows, sharing what I love doing most, teaching applique by hand and machine in the same class and unveiling my new technique, "Painted Applique".
Painted Applique is painting in big sections first and then appliqueing it to the background. Instead of appliqueing many petals of a flower one at a time, you paint the head of the flower and applique the entire flower down.This technique is being well received and those that thought they never could paint are finding out that they truly can!
BEST PART:For every pattern, there is a photographic tutorial on how to do Painted Applique AND Applique with fabric!!!
Right before Christmas, my 4th book "Painted Applique; a new approach" was released by AQS and it was a perfect end to a busy 2013. The richness in colors in the photography is to die for. I couldn't be any happier with the quality this book has to offer.
Here's a peek of some of the 20+ projects:
