This is from the class at the Road to California quilt conference last week. I took a class in machine appliqué. I’ve gotten everything pinned so I can see how it fits together and then I’ll finish sewing the petals down. One of the points we were supposed to practice is using decorative stitches instead of blanket stitch. I’m thinking of using trapunto to make it more three dimensional. #applique #quilts #roadtocalifornia

I just bought this kit at the Road to California quilt conference. It’s not the usual colors I choose, irl it’s shades of brown, but I love it. I checked the instructions before I bought it and it looks like mostly strip piecing, so it shouldn’t be too hard. #sewingbags #roadtocalifornia
