Saturday I took a class with Pat Holly!We made miniature applique postcards. First we used the fancy stitches on our machines to embelish the background fabrics. Then we fused the applique on top and added some tiny blanket stitch. That scallop border was a bit tedious.
I don't think I'll be using this technique much but it was a fun day. I even finished my project during the class!Pat brought a bunch of her miniature quilts to show. They are AMAZING. She does some pretty incredible stuff. I was also impressed by her stitch sample books. She stitches out swatches before making her quilts and had a whole notebook of different combinations of fabrics, stitches, threads, and stitch patterns for use as background fabrics. She had made an amazing plaid looking fabric by just straight stitching with different colored threads. If you ever have the chance to see her work in person don't miss it! She is one impressive woman.
