A COTTAGE IN THE GARDEN
Intermediate & advanced 6 hrs
An enchanting cottage is created then landscaping the garden with the aid of pattern options completes the composition. Explore rooflines, windows and doors along with fences, flowers and other elements of a landscape. Broderie Perse appliqué and Needleturn hand appliqué technique will be taught but the project is adaptable to any appliqué method, including machine work. A 20”block will be well on its way to completion in this exciting class.
STUDENT SUPLY LIST: Sketch paper, 6 or so sheets of “8x11” grid paper, several 20 inch squares of grid paper and tissue tracing paper (can be 8”x11” taped together), #2 pencils, eraser, paper and fabric scissors, water soluble pen, your favorite fabric marking pencils (I use water soluble and white chalk pencils), Sharpie extra fine point permanent marker, ink white out, grid template plastic, pins, appliqué needles #12, variety of threads to match your appliqué pieces (I prefer 100% cotton), thimble, compass, see-thru plastic ruler, square plastic ruler if you have one, large ziploc bag, scotch magic tape. If you are adapting from hand to machine work, please bring your chosen tools and supplies (for example freezer paper, glue stick, fusible web, etc). FABRIC: 21” square of background fabric that will work well with the fabrics you choose to work with. A combination of blue for sky and green for grass and/or brown for earth would be safe, however you are certainly not limited to those choices and may want to bring several for consideration. LOTS of fat quarters and smaller pieces that are suitable for cottages, roofs, windows, fences, flora and fauna. Please bring a variety such as checks, florals (large, medium, small and tiny) for bushes and or Broderie Perse, and a variety of colors that are your favorites to work with. See pink cottage in Dixie’s quilts “Village” QNM #261 and “Peacocks” QNM #229 COVERS for style. Please go to www.dixiemcbride.com to view photos of class projects prior to class.
