Appliqué with Sue

My quilty friend Sue is AMAZING at machine blind appliqué. You really can't believe she does it on the machine!! This is a quilt she made...on her machine! She's crazy talented! (It was quilted by Gina Allen and made in a class with Kathleen Baden.)

I just can't get over that she does it on a machine. She preps everything with the freezer paper method and then uses a blind hem stitch with transparent thread. Gorgeous!

Then I found out she does classes!! So excited! So we got together and I got to work.

She had made a little tea towel and I made a version of that!

I'm in this group called Handmade Birthday Club and each month you send a handmade birthday present to the birthday girl. This month is Courtney, so I picked colors she would like. She loved it! I still cannot get over how hidden the stitches are.

Thanks Sue for an awesome class! If you're local, she's teaching it at The Little General. One more picture!
