Tropical Delight





The project I designed for the cruise was actually taken from a photo of a fern I took in New Zealand last year. It’s a Drappliqued fern overlaid with appliquéd fern fronds and a bright orange hibiscus. We’re not using machines on board; however, I’m using a machine to demonstrate appliqué and the stitching. The students all achieved the project and werethrilled with what they achieved. For some it was their first attempt at drawing since they were chidren.... It's surprising just what you can do!..
