Caught in the Act of Teaching

Posted on February 2, 2011, 6:55 pm, by ellen, under Uncategorized.

On a recent teaching trip to Vero Beach, FL, one of the students, Helen Gene was kind enough to take several shots of me in action.

I was teaching the half day version of Double Reverse Applique to a very attentive group of students.

We started by talking about the importance of planning the stitching. 
(Notice the class samples on my board.)

I demonstrated stitching…

and trimming.

I stayed busy, which is exactly the way I like it!

Update – See some of their great results (shown at the next month’s group
Show and Tell.)

Back row: Helen Gene (my photographer!) Jane, Marti, Susan, Judy, and Carol. Front row: Roberta and Marty

(Note:  The class covers the apple, only.  A seperate pear pattern is offered to those who want to make it on their own, as Marty has done.) 
See the closer view below.

Late addition:  Vanya with her finished quilt. 

My website includes an entire gallery of quilts made with this technique.  Some of the quilts shown were made by my students.  Others were made by people who purchased my ebook of the same name. Double Reverse Applique is very accurate and easy.  It’s especially great for portraits and other subjects requiring accuracy.  Maybe you’d like to give it a try.
