This will be time to indulge in hand appliqué as well as machine, I will show various machine methods which can speed up the process and add extra texture, as well as patchwork. Whether you would like to copy one of my designs , such as, the Helford quilt, patchwork garden quilt, one of my daisy quilts, vintage bouquet, make simple repeat appliqué blocks or a strippy appliqué quilt, or start something new I will give tips and techniques of my way of designing using paste ups, choosing the fabric and certain parts of the fabric and stitching invisible stitching. Hopefully it will all be great fun and relaxing. I love hand but will also show machine appliqué with blanket stitch.
