Michelle Hill Applique Workshop

Under Michelle's great instruction I had a great time designing this quilt using Turkey photos for stimulation.

First you design and draw, working out your colour scheme and how the repeats will fit together.

Then I copied my motifs and cut up the copies for pattern pieces to cut from, pre-backed with visa-fix.

After careful placement on the background fabric, cover work with baking paper and iron to adhere.

Then it takes a lot of pushing and pulling until you have blanket stitched all around the edges.
