Applique Patterns

Many women remember our mothers spending hours of her life sewing. When we were children they would make clothing for us.

One favorite thing to do was to work with different applique patterns. You can sew outfits that will be different colors, but show the same applique patterns on them. You can also use applique patterns to make quilts.

Start by using simple applique patterns on the first quilts you make. As you begin quilting more you can use more elaborate applique patterns. Your quilts can become works of art.

How about entering one of your quilts in a local county fair? At first you may be reluctant to do this, but really, you have nothing to lose. Judges are impressed with detailed applique patterns and you might win. This means you can also display the quilt at the state fair.

Judging at the state level involves being interviewed by the judges about the specific project, as well as quilting in general.

For future ideas, check out all of the beautiful quilts that are entered for judging. They are usually displayed in many different ways. Some are hanging while others are folded or draped. This could be the first of many quilts that you win ribbons for. How would you like to be considered one of the finest quilters in the state specializing in applique patterns?

You also receive national exposure with your quilting. This recognition will give you added self esteem and confidence that you can carry into all areas of your life. It is amazing how cutting out applique patterns can change a person’s life. start a home based craft business
