Oh, man!!!!!!!! THIS Bomette is jealous!!! Enjoy your class and take pictures for us!Originally posted by WandaMSue, Margo and Bridget, thanks for all your help! I'm very excited about next years BOM and learning more about piecing.
I'm still learning about applique and found out that Sue will be teaching a class at Quackertown Quilts in Sept. Gosh after seeing what she did in the show, how could I pass up a chance to learn more from our Queen! :lol: So I signed up this morning!

I am so delighted to be able to do the on line class next year! Precision piecing! I need all the help I can get.
Funny thing, now that I've 'gotten acquainted' with machine applique (it's not so intimidating now) I am still aware that I really do enjoy the 'just sitting' part of needle turn!
We'll see what learning precision piecing does for my desire to sit and sew whether at machine or easy chair!Comment

Wow! Another episode where I learned something new. Sue's tips and techniques especially pre sewing for making any project, piecing or applique, go a bit faster and smoother.
The design tips with Ricky & Alex are wonderful! I love the idea of using the diagonal for moving the eye in a particular direction and creating such incredible visual impact.
Happy Quilting!

I am so glad that Sue has signed on for another year's BOM. I haven't done this year's because I already had a few other BOMs in progress. I have enjoyed watching each month for the results of each member's interpretation of Sue's designs. You are all doing a great job. So, in 2009, Sue's BOM will definately be THE BOM for me. I can't wait the join the fun.

I finally found the time to watch the episode that Sue did with Alex and Ricky. I was shocked at the number of applique quilts she completes in one year. She certainly is amazing and she had fantastic helpful tips. I've enjoyed this BOM and certainly look forward to 2009 with a medallion quilt. Now, I'm really glad I've been keeping up with this project.Comment

Me too! I'd love to see her in action, she must even sew fast to get that many done!!I finally found the time to watch the episode that Sue did with Alex and Ricky.

I've enjoyed this BOM and certainly look forward to 2009 with a medallion quilt. Now, I'm really glad I've been keeping up with this project.
My only regret about next year's BOM being pieced is that this one turned me on so to applique, and it is SOOOO portable! I'm just not imagining myself HAND-piecing, so I'll have to dream up something else for all my waiting-time... FlorenceComment

Florence, why not try a Baltimore Album next year. There are so many different designs. The best way to do them is hand applique and the blocks would certainly be portable.Comment

Florence, I went to Quakertown website where Sue Garman has her patterns and ordered the gingerbread pattern which is hand appliqued. That would keep you busy. Of course, I have so many UFOs, who knows when I will get to it. My DGC might be all grown up by the time I finish. Judy in AZComment
