BLOG 30

What a lovely surprise I had on Wednesday. After an unusually long and often frustrating journey my new book ‘Dual Image Appliqué’ has been delivered. These first, hot off the press, copies have all been posted or delivered to the contributors, with grateful thanks for their help and their patience. AQS have done a lovely job! The front cover is eye catching, the layout is clear and colourful and the over-all appearance of the book is glossy and bright. I am delighted!
The book is available now from AQS www.AmericanQuilter.com or from me at www.dilysfronks.com. It will be generally available in books shops soon.


Method in a nutshell using my simple terminology of frame, fillers and foundations.

All you need is 1 light square for frames and fillers and 2 foundation squares

Trace the pattern onto a fusible web and cut it out


Iron the pattern centrally on the WS of the fabric

Cut out the shape or filler to leave an in tact frame

Place the frame, with its paper still on, onto a foundation square. Take the paper off the filler and put it back in place. Use the tip of the iron to stick it down.

Remove the frame and iron the filler thoroughly.

Take the paper off the frame and iron it onto another foundation square.

That’s all there is to the basic method but just look at the exciting ways I have developed it in the book. There are 10 projects to inspire you.
