What is reverse appliqué?  What is the difference between appliqué and reverse appliqué? When was it developed and by who? How do you do it?  Can you do it by machine or by hand? Is it hard or easy to do? How do you quilt reverse appliqué? What is hidden will be revealed!

The beauty of reverse appliqué is revealed as you stitch, adding dimensional beauty to your quilts by playing with positive and negative space, fabric layering, and color value and contrast. 

Expand your creative possibilities and be empowered by the thorough, step-by-step, how-to demonstration of Eye of the Beholder Quilt Design’s easy Trace, Baste, Snip & Stitch methods of reverse appliqué.

At all trunk shows attendees will get a glimpse into the interplay of color, pattern and design Ms. Willingham uses. Gain an understanding of the techniques she employs, Trace, Baste, Snip & Stitch and Trace, Snip, Iron & Stitch, to create her reverse appliquépatterns by hand and machine.  Be encouraged to trust your creative instincts as you quilt, adding a touch of elegance to your life.
