![Applique Class at New Zealand Symposium]()
July 05, 2017
I am teaching applique at the New Zealand Symposium held in Christchurch in October. There are three classes all with a different technique, over my years of quilt making I have played with many different ways to applique. Fusible, freezer paper, needle turn, starch, glues, etc, etc...... through all that trial and error I have now found the techniques that suit me.

I'm in search of building an email list for people who want to become Quilt Pattern Testers for Sharon Keightley Quilts Original Patterns. I have been busy creating some wonderful new patterns for the Sharon Keightley Quilts Website.

Playing with Thread to embellish applique by machine. The Abundance Quilt was the result of all the fun I had playing with thread to embellish the applique design by machine.

Starting the quilting on the Winterwood Quilt! It is so exciting to get to this stage.
Basting was always a daunting part of quilt making that I rushed through, but now that I have found a way to baste while sitting down (without getting down on the floor, or standing for ages). I take my time to get the quilt basted, even enjoying the process.......
