What a great quilting appliqué method. Ii can’t wait to start my collage quilt. The best part is that it gives me license to shop for fabric using a completely new perspective. Thank you for sharing this technique with all of us who are addicted to quilting and the beauty of fabric. miamah...from the biggest little state in the union. Rhode Island !
I picked up my Pink Cadillac a few weeks ago from my longarmer and it looks spectacular. I am saving to take a class with Laura Heine next summer. I am collecting her patterns and sorting through my fabrics. Does your store carry the sewing machine kit? The black one. I like collecting my own fabrics but I would like to use the kit for the machine. It looks a little like my featherweight. Yes old blue is my next project.
Trust your instinct. There's really no right or wrong with collage quilts. The great thing about these quilts is that they are not permanently affixed right away. If you want to add some red or other colors, you aren't committed to a long row of precise pieced work that require hours with a seam ripper to undo. You can substitute at the last minute. I've found collage very forgiving when an anxiety attack strikes (or inspiration). Best wishes.
OMG! I just took a class in Daytona Beach, Fla and I too have really wanted to take a class it’s Laura! My class was February 23, and my completed placement was March 22. Purchased my backing and am now ready to sandwich it together and hang it in my sewing room.!
The background noise really takes away from a professional persons video.....I cannot believe Laura didn’t stop the filming and say be quiet while I talk.....how unfair to her.
OH-MY-WORD!! I can’t believe I was scrolling through collage RU-vid videos and saw a familiar face!! Deanna, your page is FABULOUS!! I started quilting just about a year and a half ago and am addicted!! Just recently I’ve discovered collage quilting and was looking at various videos and happened upon yours! I am now a subscriber 😁. Hope you and your family are well!!! So good to see you!!
