First time I tried raw edge applique. It was close to Christmas time many years ago. We woke to a rainy day, today. My shoulder and neck is on the mend slowly.
This was the second one. One placed the fabrics on to a piece of muslin and sewed them to the muslin following the drawn lines on the fabric. The fabric was pinned right side facing out on the wrong side of the fabric, covering the area with a larger piece of fabric for the shape. Once it was sewn down, one had to trim it to the stitching line. Once all the pieces was sewn to create the picture, one would add the black bias tape to cover the raw edges. This was a first attempt.
Another first was foundation paper piecing, creating this tree wall hanging from a quilting magazine years ago.
Diane is almost done with the Halloween Quaker.
