Many of us in the quilt club enjoyed a workshop Wednesday
with Jill Finley. We made a block from
one of her books using her techniques for making triangle squares, turned edge
applique using freezer paper templates, and bias stems made from a bias strip
maker. I had already been exposed to
some of the techniques, but as always, each instructor adds to our tool box of
skills.
This is my block which has been glue basted and is ready for
hand stitching. The points on the leaf
tips will be tidied up as the hand stitching is done. The
hardest part for me was trying to make the stems for the two outside flowers symmetrical. I still need to practice that part.
This workshop exercise yielded a 12 inch block which we can
use at the May workshop when another instructor leads us through exercises in
making pieced borders fit on a medallion quilt.
We only had the use of our space at the church until 3:00 and the time flew by. I think everyone had a
great time.
