Check out this great item that I found online.
Artist: Sue K Gies - Custer, SD USA
Materials and Techniques: I used mostly batik fabric, and the background was gradation, which make the bird look as though it has sun shinning on him. I used a raw edge applique technique with a blanket stitch prior to quilting it. I custom quilted it with many circles and fern motif that I designed. The pattern was from Edyta Sitar (Laundry Baskets) a class I took.
Artist's Statement: I have many favorites when it comes to quilting and applique has to be right at the top. I generally pick out patterns that have some applique in them, or I end up adding something during the process. This one also has piecing and applique and I love Edyta Sitar's technique of piecing. I took this online class from her and it was so much fun. Quilting is also right at the top of my favorite. I am a longarm quilter and love to try all sorts of stitches. I like the small and detail stitching. The more quilting the more I like it.
