Applique Workshop with Christy Fincher

 Our Phoenix Modern Quilt Guild

June meeting was last Saturday.

Christy Fincher (Purple Daisies)

taught a great 

Applique workshop

 As a member of our guild,

Christy is always so willing to share her 

vast knowledge with our group.

Christy is the daughter of Sharon Schamber

and lets just say that the 

 talent apple doesn't fall far from the tree.

 I learned a new applique technique that I had never seen before.

Christy showed us how to use an 

Applique Foundation Stabilizer sheet

that makes perfect pieces.

A very cool and easy to do technique.

The foundation sheets can be ordered on Christy's website

HERE

We were treated to a Trunk Show of

many of Christy's applique quilts.

 So beautiful!

 Christy has co-authored a book with her mom.

 Bari Ackerman  (Bari J.)

is also a member of our guild.

She brought a few samples of her quilts

that she has made using this same technique.

 wow

 The Guild gives great prizes.

Denise won the Fat Quarter bundle

generously donated by Bari.

You can see Bari stitching away right behind Denise.

I love Bari's newest fabric line

Bijoux

We were sitting at the lucky table!

I also won a fat quarter bundle

plus 

a $20 Gift Certificate 

from Pink Chalk Fabrics :)

Thanks Christy for a great workshop!
