One of the exciting things about teaching is seeing my students achieve great results, and the joy they find in doing so. These photos, from a recent Show and Tell in Jacksonville, FL, show Double Reverse Applique students showing off their work. During the class, students made an apple using the very easy DRA technique. And, several [...]
Identical patterns. Identical fabric/color list. VARIED results. It’s always amazing to see how different the DRA apples are, even though everyone starts with the same pattern and color suggestions.

Despite my almost non-existent voice, the students had excellent results! Everyone finished their apples by the end of the day and several were working on pears. Check out the tasty variety!

Oh my, did we have fun on my recent teaching trip to Sarasota, Florida! For starters, I taught my half-day Double Reverse Applique class. The photo below shows my teaching display. The pattern matches the red apple, but as you can see, it’s awesome in any color variation. Lou and Denise (L-R) stayed busy: Click any photo [...]
Last week found me in Venice, FL, teaching my Double Reverse Applique class for the Venice Area Quilters Guild. The project for this class was a high contrast apple. The photo below shows the first few finished apples taped up for display, as the rest of the class is reflected in the mirrored wall. (Click the photo [...]
