This one has instructions for both a pieced and this applique' center--you choose which you prefer. I have another outer border to go, then this one is done. I used 3 different methods for sewing on the vines, two by machine, one by hand. I prefer to fold bias vines in thirds, then stitch in place, rather than use bias bars as the instructions say to do. In class, I provide as many options as I can think of so students can choose or even learn a new favorite.
Hope to finish this one this week and I'm currently hand-appliqueing another one, Tiddlywinks!
Class is this Friday night so I have to prepare a few samples to demo this one:

Beautiful! I'm scared of applique. . . need to do a class or something and just get over it :) I like that you give options in your classes. I'd probably have to try all of them LOL
ReplyDeleteAll it takes is figuring out the method you prefer, and practice! A class is a good way to learn the steps.
ReplyDeleteThat's a good idea to provide many options - make people not be so intimidated by applique. Love your samples.
ReplyDeleteThat is called Widdly Tinks! I get it confused also.
ReplyDeleteSo right, Martha!
DeleteI know your classes are well planned and you are well prepared. Lucky students. Samples are beautiful, Barbara.
