Apples in Port St. Lucie: Part One
Everyone loves the apple project in my “Double Reverse Applique” class, and the Thimblebuddies of Port St. Lucie, FL were no exception. I did a class with them this past week and the results were great!
The technique requires a little concentration, especially at first.
This mother-daughter duo shared a table and made great progress.
A light box is integral to the technique.
Check out Forest’s apple.
And Sheila’s.
Here’s Ann Marie’s.

Aren’t they great? And there are more! I’ll show you those next time.

Awesome apples! How was the like box used and why is it so important? Thanks
Good question, Barb. With this technique, the fabric is pinned to the front, but stitched from the back (where the pattern is visible.) The light box is used to ensure correct placement of the pinned fabric.
Here’s an article with an overview of the technique (although it doesn’t mention a light box.) http://adventurequilter.com/main_page/articles/to-try/dra-intro-article/
