It looks hard, but its really quite simple, in fact you can’t make a mistake.
You will begin with a print of a photo of shoes which is fused and ironed to a background.
Assemble the quilt and free motion stitch as if you are drawing.
But there are a few tricks to learn…. you will astound your friends and marvel at the results.

Pam, I am in your class in Houston. It is not clear --Will you provide the picture/shoes on fabric for us or do we have to bring something?? Looking forward to having lots of fun. Thanks.
ReplyDeleteI "sew" enjoyed your class and I plan on getting back to my cowboy boots next week after catching up at home! Thank you so much, it was a thrill of my life! Pamela Graham
