Catching Up - Applique Class
More from the first half of 2023
Beginning Turned-Edge Machine Applique Class
Someone talked me into using a new block for the beginning applique class so anyone talking the class could make Tilda’s Putting Down Roots Quilt - a free pattern available in the Collections section at tildasworld.com

And once again, I had a lot of fun choosing backgrounds and dots.

The first image below is a edited photo with only one ballerina. The second image has been blown up to like 3’x5’ and some of the border is getting planned. Which eyes? And in the third, I’ve finalized the border and started planning the tutu and headpiece. No stitching and no applique yet. Still don’t know which eyes to choose….
