Welcome to week 2 of January where we are celebrating different ways to do appliqué ! Last week we talked all about the Apliquick tools and how useful I find them for turned edge techniques.
This week we switch lanes and talk about a wide category of appliqué known as Broderie Perse (say – Broydery Purse).. also known as Persian Appliqué or even Chintz Appliqué. And while sometimes this technique is done as a turned edge more often this is a raw-edged technique making it fast but finished and a fantastic way to use large scale fabrics!
There are quite a few quilt artisans that are using these techniques today but I don’t think many are doing it more boldly than Laura Heine … Here quilt designs make the most of fabric prints, colors and themes and if you would like to learn more about her technique see the video below.
She has written a swell little book that this month’s BAQS sponsor Fiberology Lab as a happy coincidence has in stock and has been so kind as to offer a discount code just for BAQS fans!
To grab a copy (there are only 5-6 left!) of the book to get you going check out this link to Fiberology Lab and use the code BAQS10 for 10% off your order!
Want more?…. Just about every Monday I go live on the BAQS Page at 10 am eastern to share everything new with our world of Healthy Happy Creatives so make sure to give that a peak.. it will be pinned to the top of the BAQS facebook page all week!
My glasses you say?…..Most of them come from the great people at Readers.com… and they have been so nice as to hook me up with a sale for you! Click the link to check it out the current promotions… they might even be having their 3 pairs for $30 which is SUCH a sweet deal.
Pssssst… Did you read down this far?.. if you did I want to let you know that starting Wednesday the 13th I will be doing a private 3 day community opening over at Maddiekertay.com. Life is vexing right now and many of us have goals that we want to meet, progressive community that we need and more. I will be honest that I just don’t have it in me to do a huge BAQS launch right now because {waves hands in the air to indicate.. everything} but I have a few more invitations left for those who want to be part of the BadAss Private membership community and possibly the Quilters Accountability group. I only open 4 times a year and am doing this since I will be launching the new Happy Healthy Creative Camp for my Keto and Fasting people and will give them a chance to do a packaged deal at that time.
