finished project

I finished a wall-hanging for a friend. I used a technique called
fused-edge applique. I liked it well enough to try it again, and my
friend LOVED her little bird. You can see it at this link. It's on
facebook, but I *think* you do not have to log in or anything to see my
pictures here.

That's darling -looks just like the blackbirds who raided my currant
bushes.

It's lovely!

That's a wonderful piece, Karen! What is fused-edge appliqué, though?


I couldn't find it online to show you, but it was in a past issue of AQS
mag. You apply a thinned version of Liquid Thread to the back side
around the edges of you pcs. before you cut them out. You press it with
a teflon sheet over it until it's dry. Then you cut the pcs. out and you
have edges that will fuse to the backgroud fabric with a dry iron, and
that will not fray. You don't have to sew around the edges, the author
has several quilts that get used and washed and have never frayed. If
she sews around the edges it's because she likes the way it looks. Poor
explanation, but you get the idea. LOL

Thanks, John, and I've been loving your Girly projects! Read the
explanation I replied to Sandy, you might get the picture that way.
Hopefully.
