Pattern in SUSAN MCCORD, by Barbara Brackman, Shauna Christensen, and Deb Rowden, SunFlower Pattern Cooperative, 2004Susan McCord is one of my favorite quilters from the past.
This is done with the machine applique method pioneered by Karla Menaugh and Cherie Ralston. I have a new interest in this method since I discovered InvisiFil thread at Sew Expo 2 weeks ago. I tried it out on the cat applique, that Bonnie posted from the Gwen Marston workshop, last week. It works great, and comes in 30 colors. www.wonderfil.net It is a 100 wt 2 ply poly and comes in 30 colors. Full disclosure: not paid to recommend this thread, although the rep did give me a couple of extra spools of other threads to try.
The reason the quilting shows so well, is that I took photo outside, at sundown. The quilt is flat on the deck, and he sun is hitting it horizontally.
