1. How do you size your quilts?

 It’s all visual with me.  It just has to look right.  My quilts are not made to be used on a bed or anything else.  They are wall hangings.

2.  Do you hand applique?

Yes.  I love doing as much by hand as possible.  I don’t feel comfortable with machines and I don’t care for fusable applique.  This is just personal taste. I don’t feel everyone should be like me.  Plus, I like things to look hand made.

3.  Do you embroider to cover the edges of the applique? 

Yes and no.  I often embroider the edge of my applique, but I don’t need to.  I finally have gotten enough skill that my applique looks pretty sweet.

4.  How do you do the finish layout of the appliqued shapes onto the background fabric?

First, using pins, I make a pin line that is square on the background fabric.  Then I place and move around the applique pieces until it visually looks good to me.

If you have any more questions just let me know.
