I had so much fun teaching in Mt. Dora, FL! The first day included a lecture on color and an Instant Art Quilt class. The next day was devoted to Double Reverse Applique. The primary project for this class is a dramatic apple. Click any image for a larger view (I’m embarrassed to report I did […]
What fun we had in my Double Reverse Applique class in Sun City Center! The students had excellent results! What colorful produce! This in-progress apple, below, shows a bit of the technique. Early patches are sewn down over-sized. Later overlapping pieces properly define the patches underneath. With this process, the background fabrics are often the last […]

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. Peggy’s speedy results: Rachel softened her piece with different background colors. Shawn was busy with her duties as hostess, but still found plenty of time to complete […]
I’m just back from a teaching trip to Texas, where I learned a new term: high five. In this area of dense traffic it refers not only to a high hand slap, but also to a stack of five freeways crossing in various directions. However, the workshop venue was in a beautiful wooded spot, well […]
