Pas de Deux - New Applique pattern!

Sat, 19 May 2012 04:39:23 -0700

Breathtaking, long awaited - and now it's here!! This magnificent reverse applique treasure was inspired by a mid 19th century quilt from the Shelburne Museum, Vermont which held my fascination after seeing it there in 2004 . This project will take all of your patience and endurance .... so don't expect a quick result here! The completed quilt however, is wonderful and well worth all the effort! The entire quilt is worked with the reverse applique technique and the pattern cover shows Joan Livingston's beautiful work. My grateful thanks to Joan for giving permission to use these images on this pattern.
