Hugs from Helen: APQ the American one that is..

April 08, 2012

AP&Q – the American one that is..

Whilst away I had several messages about a project I could not remember…. so I was keen to get home and see what was in my pile of mail….

This little quilt was left with the Editor over two years ago and finally made its appearance in this months issue of American Patchwork and Quilting. June-Cover_540 If you have been a blog friend for some time you may just remember tiny peeks several years ago as I had promised to use up the cutoff triangles from the Great Summer Mystery Quilt – do you recognise them? The red spots? I'm right down the back, page 100 actually, but I am still very excited… For those that have asked it is an old fabric range now by Tanya Whelan for Free Spirit Fabrics… But this would look great in any range of soft pretties – and you can always get a red spot and a pink stripe somewhere! I used my Glue stick appliqué method but of course you can use any method.

Hopefully this may be the first of more to come now that we have the logistics (legal stuff) worked out for international contributors.

For those of you who get to see it, hope you like it!

hugs for today

Helen

Love this mag. Congrats on being a contributor. Wish I could figure out, as an Aussie,how I could be a subscriber.

Colourque

Colourque (R) is a techique I developed and use on many of my projects. It is nothing scientific, anyone can do it, it is meant to be fun and easy to do... it is simply using coloured pencils on fabric to get an applique effect. 'Faux Applique' a comprehensive technique book on the method is due for release late November. Watch this space!
