Last year, I was invited to submit a
little quilt for Sue's book. I was delighted to give it a go. This
is my little quilt, Welcome Home. It was fun to make. The only
requirements were the size, and that it need to be made with fusible
applique. Her book, Colorful Fabric Collage: Sketch, Fuse,
Quilt has been published now. I love it! It is filled with a lot of
techniques for fusible applique and many fun projects!
Now, I have learned another way! Just to practice the new
things I learned I made this new little quilt, Garden House using
some of Sue's techniques. I really like it and was surprised how
quickly it came together!
My favorite things about the book:
1. It has all the steps, start to
finish, including design, dyeing fabric, fusing, quilting,
embellishing, and finishing it. I love that it is comprehensive.
2. Lots of pictures! Well, maybe
that's a given, but very important to me because I am very visual.
3. Lots of examples from other
artists. I love that Sue included examples from many of her artist
friends. It was interesting to see the other projects.
4. Speaking of projects, Sue's book is
packed with them, and they are not all quilts. I love some of the
other projects she shows how to make like the tote bag and the fabric
journal. Excellent!
5. Last, and this one is important!
Sue gives tips that help make your project a success. Thanks for
that!
