I also like to hear details on how someone else does a technique, such as the reverse applique, so thanks for the stitching tips!Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8230694326800494480.post-28458560222426313902013-03-09T12:30:40.163-08:002013-03-09T12:30:40.163-08:00It is easy for me to assume that everyone knows wh...It is easy for me to assume that everyone knows what reverse appliqué is. Then I remember that Leah's followers extend across the spectrum of relative newbies to experienced. Also, several of my none fiber artist friends would be clueless. Reverse appliqué, like many techniques used in quilting (think basting and marking for example) can be executed in multiple ways. Some ways are suited to better for different situations. Often it is just a user preference which way to go.<br /><br />Reflections will be entered into a SAQA IL/WI exhibition called The Eye and the Needle. The premise of the show is to make a quilt based on a photograph. Reflection is based on photograph taken by my husband (shared in an earlier posting). I have pruned the flock by at least half for stronger visual impact.Gwyned Trefethenhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/13041159153171283941noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8230694326800494480.post-31872165727140256552013-03-09T08:24:00.339-08:002013-03-09T08:24:00.339-08:00Thanks for sharing about how you do the reverse ap...Thanks for sharing about how you do the reverse applique, Gwyned. The geese and your goddess quilt are both looking fantastic. Are you entering the geese in a show (you mentioned an absolute deadline) and if so, which one?

Hope you will share in a future blog.<br /><br />I knew when I started my blog that I wanted it to be about my WIP's and experiments. I am very introspective person - always looking at the why and how. It is natural for me to share my creative problem solving thinking. It is nice to know that it is appreciated.Gwyned Trefethenhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/13041159153171283941noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8230694326800494480.post-78138197394655652382013-03-08T16:37:30.577-08:002013-03-08T16:37:30.577-08:00Ah, those pesky geese can be quite fetching, can&#...Ah, those pesky geese can be quite fetching, can't they? <br /><br />The red branches are going to dramatically alter the feel of the piece.

Just because I know what to do, doesn't mean I have any idea how it will look. So, I find myself as delighted with the result as if someone else had done the stitching. I'm glad you agree.Gwyned Trefethenhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/13041159153171283941noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8230694326800494480.post-52597685017672214122013-03-08T16:33:12.682-08:002013-03-08T16:33:12.682-08:00Thank you, Danielle.

You may have just helped me solve a major dilemma.<br /><br />I love watching your work in progress.
