Starting my 2022 Season: Make This Great Applique and Thread Art Quilt!

This is the first part of my new project, which combines applique, thread painting, complementing quilting, and even some fabric paint. In this first episode we'll assemble the quilt, get it appliqued and marked for stitching the thread art and major quilting. We'll continue with the thread work, quilting, and finishing touches in the rest of this series, so you can work through it step by step. Disclaimer: This video is not sponsored, but I've made a complete pattern and an illustrated instruction guide for this project available on my website for a nominal fee, and I earn income if you purchase it. Also, if you go to my website or use my affiliate links to purchase tools or materials, the vendors won't charge you more, but I will earn some income from that as well, which supports this channel.
