12 No Mess, No Fuss Applique Poinsettia Vase Intermediate Appliqué This is a hand applique class devoted to using a specific and unique applique method taught by the instructor. This applique method DOES NOT use freezer paper, glue, templates, hemostats, or overlays -- hence the name No Mess, No Fuss Applique. The method is highly portable and able to fit in a baggie in your purse. Approximate finished size of the wall quilt is 24 x 30 without borders (30 x 36 with borders). This class meets twice. Prerequisite is Glenda s Beginning No Mess No Fuss. Applique Fabric: 100% cotton is user-friendly while polyester blends should be avoided. Purchase fat quarters or 1/3 yard cuts of appliqué fabrics. Choose white, pink, or bright red for the Poinsettias (at least 5 different fabrics), and lots of greens for the leaves. Pinecones can be various shades of brown or rust. The vase can be a color of your choice, but works nicely with 3 different fabrics, or shades of your color choice. Other Fabrics: Background fabric - 26 x 32 rectangle. Try to choose a light colored (white, beige, tan, fabric. DO NOT use a dark background fabric for this method. Tone-on-tone works nicely, but do not get fabric where you can feel the pattern. This is harder to needle. Borders (Optional) 2/3 yard for 1st and 3rd borders, miscellaneous fabrics for the pieced border. Backing Fabric - 34 x 40 fabric for quilt back. (Not needed for class) Batting Fabric - 34 x 40 batting. (Not needed for class) Binding Fabric 1/3 yard. (Not needed for class) Threads: *Match thread colors to your appliqué fabric. 100 weight silk thread or 60 weight spools of machine embroidery thread (not the shiny kind) *A light colored hand quilting thread. If you do not have any, buy a bright goldenrod color. One skein DMC embroidery floss for thin stems. Other Supplies: Pattern Poinsettia Vase Wall Quilt, pattern #99-23, from Distinctive Pieces (phone or or to DistinctivePieces@att.net). *Bring regular sewing scissors and small, pointed stork-type scissors, if you have them. However, I find that the *Kai 5 and the *Ginger 5 craft scissors work very well. I will show these to you in class. If you need to purchase scissors, please wait until the first class so that you will understand what scissors work best for the technique. Thimble any kind you are comfortable using *Size 10 Milliners needles (Richard Hemming brand is very good) *Size 10 or 11 sharps needles (Richard Hemming brand is very good). *One THICK-line blue wash-out fabric marking pen, such as Mark-B-Gone. The thin-line marker doesn t work for my technique. (Do not use the kind that disappears on its own, without water.) *Medium sized cutting mat, ruler, and rotary cutter. Pre-class instructions: Important: Students must order their own pattern from designer shown above. Wash & press all fabrics before class to remove sizing, pre-shrink fabric, & test for color fastness. Pre-cut the background fabric into a 26 x 32 rectangle before the first class. Optional: You may also sew or serge a narrow finish around the edges to avoid fraying. Trace pattern onto background as instructed in beginning No Mess, No Fuss.

13 No Mess, No Fuss Appliqué Glenda s Gingko Leaf Pattern -- Beginner skill level (1 class) This is a hand appliqué class devoted to using a specific and unique appliqué method taught by Glenda Correll. This method DOES NOT use freezer paper, glue, templates, hemostats or overlays hence the name, No Mess, No Fuss! Because the usual supplies mentioned above are not required, your project will be highly portable. It can be easily tucked into a purse for onthe-go sewing! Samples can be viewed at Paramount and on my web site at Fabrics: It is important to pre-wash and press all fabrics Background - One 14 square of plain, light colored (white, beige, tan, fabric. Do not use a dark background. Tone-on-tone works nicely, but do not get fabric where you can feel the pattern. This is a rubberized fabric printing form that is hard to needle by hand. Applique Fabric 1 piece 8 x 9 for center Gingko Leaf area; 2 pieces 4 1/2 x 7 1/2 for Ginkgo Leaf sides; 1 piece 2 x 5 for stem.

Threads: *Match thread colors to your applique fabric. 100 weight silk thread or 60 weight spools of machine embroidery thread (not the shiny kind) *A light colored hand quilting thread. If you do not have any, buy a bright goldenrod color. Sewing Supplies: Bring regular sewing scissors and small, pointed stork-type scissors, if you have them. However, I find that the *Kai 5 and the *Ginger 5 craft scissors work very well. I will show these to you in class. If you need to purchase scissors, please wait until the first class so that you will understand what scissors work best for the technique.
