2 Ways to Create Stained-Glass Applique
Join Linda Rowe to learn two ways to obtain a stained-glass look using two very different techniques. These techniques can be used to turn anything from a picture in a coloring book, a stained glass pattern book, or a large reverse applique pattern into a quilt, pillow, or wall hanging.
Project 1: We will be making a table topper that you can complete the quilting on at home to learn the reverse applique technique. I have patterns of larger projects and a completed sample so you can see the great results you can obtain.
Special Supplies for Project 1:
18 mm rotary cutter or Shark Cutter (From Missouri Star Quilt Company.
Ceramic Exacto knife
2-pieces of 14" X 14" piece of black fabric, preferably batik
scraps of coordinating fabrics 5X5" or over again, preferably batiks (refer to photo).
Project 2: (Requires a supply fee of $4.50, for the fusible bias tape, due at the class by check or cash.) We will be using a fused applique technique to make a tulip from a stained-glass book that could be finished into a small pillow or small wall hanging. The point of this one is not the finished project but learning the technique. (Apologies for the photo. The "leading" was made with a sharpie as I ran out of fusible bias tape.)
Fabrics for Project 2:
1-9.5" X 12" piece of light colored fabric for the background. Whitish or light blue is good. Any color that will make your color choices for the tulip pop.
1-2" X 2" piece of fabric for tulip top
1-4"4 piece of fabric for sides of tulip blossom
1-5" X 5" piece of green fabric for the tulip leaves
Regular Supplies: You do not need to bring your sewing machine.
