To Border or Not to Border That is The Question
To Border or Not to Border, That is the Question - (1 hour) - During this lecture I will discuss if a quilt needs a border and how to select a border for your quilt. I will also explain how I design many of my borders. My hope is that this will inspire you to think about how to enhance your quilt with the right border.

African Violet: Appli-bond Applique Techniques
Joan Shay is an award winning quilter from Cape Cod, Mass. She has developed a new applique technique Appli-bond. If you want to create realistic 3-D flowers, birds and fish easily and simply, then this is the technique for you. Apple-bond is the fusing together of two layers of fabric, thus elimination the need to turn under allowances or finish the edges. Once you have fused the fabric you cut out the motifs and then applique these to your background with decorative embroidery stitches. Surprisingly these quilts are washable! In addition to patterns her company Petal Play offers Appli-bond needles, templates, complete kits and notions for this technique.
