Although I often strive for a sense of looseness in my quilts, there are times when accuracy is called for. Like when creating portraits.

That's when I use the Double Reverse Applique technique. Because stitching is done DIRCETLY on the pattern, accuracy is both easy and assured.

You can give it a try on March 6th, when the next online Double Reverse Applique class begins.

In this class you'll:
- Master the the Double Reverse Applique technique,
- Make the killer apple project shown here,
- Learn how to make your own patterns for future DRA projects.

I've taught some really fun classes this past month. It's just such a kick to get together with enthusiastic quilters and make art!

As an example, in a recent color class the students enjoyed using colorful pieces of paper for their workbook exercises. They tore them and glued them in place, following the principles they learned. It didn't take long for the tables to be covered in SEVERAL layers of paper!

BTW, the hotel in which this class was held was rumored to be haunted. Fortunately, no one had any interesting encounters to report.

Check my teaching schedule to see if I'll be near you soon.
