I recently took 3 classes from Sharon Schamber. The Pensacola Quilter's Guild brought her in July. Wow! What a wealth of information. I subscribe to her website and watch classes all the time, nothing can compare to having her right there with you. We learned "pieclique", advanced machine applique and dancing domestic feather machine quilting. I have been an applique queen since the class. Her techniques give razor sharp points to your applique. I have now completed 4- 16" x 16" blocks of my Becky Goldsmith quilt "Aunt Millie's Garden". It is so quick to complete with her extra tiny zigzag stitching, making the machine applique go sooooo fast. You wash and block each square PRIOR to stitching the top together and it looks like hand applique. It is amazing. The lesson on machine quilting feathers was invaluable. My feathers now look a lot like hers with my own personal variations. I am now so busy completing UFO's that my blogging has suffered terribly. More to follow.
