Flower Baskets.

Christine's 14" Flower Basket is destined for her Sampler Quilt.
Christine is a member of a local Parish Church group who attend Heirloom workshops which I've taught since the heady days of 1991.
I'm proud to announce that students on my Sampler Courses have won top prizes at national level, four years on the trot, and some have moved on to become tutors themselves.

Baskets allow quilters free rein with flowers or fruit using hand or machine appliqué techniques. Christine cut flower shapes from her main fabric and appliquéd them to the background. It's a very old but very effective technique called Broderie Perse.
