Dreamy Eye Mask Embroidery Project for July 2012

Embroidery Club is on Tuesday, July 24 at 5:30pm. This month you will be making a Dreamy Eye Mask using the Anita Goodesign Project Cd, Dreamy Eye Mask.

This traditional technique adds a dimensional “puffy” quality to your quilt blocks.  Using your embroidery machine and treating your batting as an applique, you can achieve the Trapunto effect in less than half the time.  This Pillow uses 4 of the blocks from this design pack.  There are 12 design blocks and 1 transition block in this pack. These blocks are compatible with our Mix and Match Quilting Collection. These samples use Rouenneries Deuz by French General for Moda Fabrics.

We will probably not be have enough time to finish the pillow at Embroidery Club, but we will embroider as many blocks as time permits. And, we will discuss how to assemble your pillow so that you can do it at home.

I look forward to spending a fun evening with you doing embroidery.
