Gabriele sent me this photo of her recently completed quilt from our book, Wool Applique the Piece O’ Cake Way. I love the way the patterned fabrics work together to set off the wool applique!

She taught a class from the book at her local quilt shop. Gabriele says: “I currently have a 12 year old and her mother. She took to applique and is already planning her next project. She is home schooled and the class can count towards math, fine arts and even history (I give a short history on each type of quilting or block in each class). I just love sharing my love of quilting.”

Well said and well sewn. Thank you, Gabriele, for sharing!

Daytona in February…

Call me crazy but isn’t the idea of quilting in Florida in February irresistible! I will definitely be there and I do hope you can join me! On Wednesday 2/26, the very first day of Daytona Quilt Week, I’m teaching a block from my Hexie Quilt Garden book. In this hand applique class I show you how to needleturn applique a pretty circle. I promise you that it is way easier than you think it will be. And see the points on the leaves? I show you how to sew those as well. Click here for more info.

For those of you who like fast and fun 3-hour classes, on the last day of the show I’m teaching a no-sew class on color. It’s a low-stress class where you learn practical concepts about color. Students always leave this class with big grins and a feeling of color confidence. Click here to find out more about the Color Class.

Marilyn B is this week’s winner. She will receive a set of three spools of Aurifil’s wool thread in red, yellow, and blue—the primary colors! This thread is a wool/acrylic blend that is strong and fuzzy. It blends into felted wool when you applique with it, which helps it to hide.

These are 41 of the blocks from our book, Applique Delights, that Linda and her stitch group made with felted wool last year. I just figured out how to show all of the blocks in one post. Honestly, how I didn’t know this before makes my head hurt.

Click on any thumbnail image to see it bigger. Once there, you can click on the (almost invisible) arrows on the right or left to scroll through them. I’ll refer to this post in my next newsletter so those of you who subscribe to my blog are seeing these first! You can find the eBook here or order the Print-On_Demand version here.
