Magazine Challenge: Project Found

by Donna Lannerd

Okay, my challenge due date I had for myself was June 15 and I am a few days late but I have found something to work on. I came across this fusible applique method by Lorraine Carthew in the American Quilter magazine Projects 2005 issue. The technique is basically a mosaic approach where you cut small pieces from fabric backed by fusible web then fuse them to the background.

As you can see the photo is a pattern of a rose. I am not going to do the rose so another part of the challenge will be deciding on what to use for the design. I’m thinking just doing some shapes. And, now I just have to find the time to start challenging myself. We are traveling this weekend and then it will be the holiday week. It just seems there is never enough time to do everything you want.

Question of the Day: What designs do you think would work well with this technique?
