Journal Quilt Challenge: Appliqu&233; From A Photograph By Barbara
Howell
Journal Quilt Challenge: Appliqué from a Photograph by Barbara Howell Barbara Howell demonstrates her appliqué technique from a photo to a finished journal quilt. Barbara devised this design from a tiny part of a photograph of the village where she lives. When on holiday, she watches for collections of interesting rooftops to photograph! Back home, she uses her computer to further select a group of interesting shapes, aiming for a good variety in size and shape and avoiding large spaces of sky or land. She keeps moving the focus until she has between 15 and 20 separate shapes – usually with straight sides. Barbara uses a very limited colour scheme: many shades of one main colour and small areas of a contrast. In this style of appliqué, some of the raw edges are covered with zigzag
stitching, but others are stitched underneath the next one. This project is an extract from Popular Patchwork magazine first published in September 2009. It is a Digital Edition and comes as a downloadable PDF file.
