New Projects for Academy of Applique' Classes, Spring '27! Registration Coming SOON!

 I'm so excited to share my new projects with you that I'll be teaching at Academy of Applique' next spring of '27!  Well, one is my design and the other is a stunning project I'm patterning for my friend Julee Prose.  My classes teach starch basting for a perfect prepared edge for easy stitching.  My original notions for this method really help the process go quickly and easily.  

The first session offering is called Sweet Lyla, named after the flowers that bloom around Mother's Day, when my most recent granddaughter was born.  She has a room full of wildflowers and these colors will match her room so well.  This block is about 20" in size, but you can choose to make a block that's about 36" - 40" if you want something larger.  This is the smaller size option, full of beautiful bright pastels.  It can be bordered or bound as is or you can make multiples for a stunning larger quilt.  

And this is the larger option at 36" which consists of a center motif and 4 unique stars in addition to the corner motifs shown above.  It's so lovely and can be bordered as is or again, would be stunning as multiples for a larger kit!  Secondary designs pop when you make multiples.

Pre Sale Kits are available for both options along with thread kits now on my website at TraditionalPrimitives.com.  They will be shipped to the Academy if you take my class or shipped to your home if you can't attend.  I'm not able to ship until after the event where I am offering this exclusively until after the event.  That will be about mid March of 2027.  

My class for the second session is called Old Glory Under His Wings, designed by Julee Prose and patterned by myself.  The block is 30" and is just stunning.  

This class is the center of the larger quilt.  You'll enjoy making this project which celebrates the USA and is designed in the style of Baltimore Album quilts of the mid 1800s.  Julee did a great job with all the intricate details included in the quilt.  You can choose to make this block, exclusively offered at the Academy of Applique' event, or purchase the entire pattern if you don't attend or want to make the entire quilt, shown below.  Pre Sale on the patterns are available.  The fabric kit for the entire quilt will be available soon on the website.  I'm so honored to offer this to you!

Take a look at the class catalog at AcademyofApplique.com and make your plan to register at noon sharp on Labor Day!  Read over ALL the info so you know exactly what you need to do to get into the classes you desire.  

Let me know if you have any questions about these classes and I'm happy to try to answer them.  I hope to see you there!!

Baltimore On The Prairie Workshops!

I'm so thrilled to be teaching at Baltimore On The Prairie again this year, September 4-7, 2024!  If you love to spend time with about 100 others who love the art of applique, this event is for you!  We learn so much about many techniques of applique and it's so wonderful to be around those who love quilts and stitching as much as the rest.

This year, I have 2 class choices available.  Session A is wool applique on pre quilted silk.  It is called Rachael's Dream.  We learn several options for preparation of the shapes and of course the wool applique process.  Optional fabric and thread kits are available containing the pre quilted silk in a taupe or greige color and wool for the applique.  This whimsical antique styled project was inspired by the Jacobean embroidery works of the past and is an absolute joy to work on!  The silk is very lightweight and easy to handle as we stitch.  You'll be amazed how wonderful this is to stitch.  So relaxing and enjoyable!  

The Session B class is called In The Valley and is an all cotton block to finish as you wish.  The focus in class will be basting the shapes with Missie's unique method of Starch Basting using her original notions for this technique.  We will touch on basic shapes as well as tiny stems and other small details, offering options for the tiny apples so you can find a way you like to make the small circles.  You'll have the option of the church as shown, a house or a school.  Optional fabric and thread kits are available.  Even beginners will be able to achieve excellent shapes using this unique technique!  Sewing can be done by hand or machine after preparing the shapes with the Starch Basting Technique.  

Details can be found at BaltimoreonthePrairie.com or by clicking HERE.  Join me for this special event held in the beautiful Leid Lodge in Nebraska City, NE.  The lodge is a stunning Frank Loyd Wright building and the property has a museum and apple orchard among other activities should you want to stay a bit longer than the applique event.  

Please feel free to reach out with any questions at TPQuilts@gmail.com.  I hope to see you there!

Take care,

Missie

Join Me at The New England Quilt Seminars Sept 25-30, 2022!

It is so humbling and rewarding to receive an email from a customer who enjoys what I’ve taught them!  It really made my day to receive these words from a special lady after taking a workshop this spring.

“I have been working on Delightful Garden (shown in the last photo) from the workshop (I’m doing four big blocks) and I had to stop and write you.  For something so complicated looking, your technique is amazingly EASY and FAST!!  I am breezing through all four blocks like nobody’s business.  I didn’t pick up my project again until last month (life happens), but I am already through the centers and long stems for all four plus the hexies for one swag, AND I have ALL of the tiny stems made for all four blocks!  Two of my centers are stitched down!  This is so much fun!  Thank you for an easy, gorgeous project!!  Sincerely, Carol C”

If you’d like to have success like this on the quilt shown here, Nana’s Garden Club, join me at The New England Quilt Seminars this fall in New Hampshire!  Details at www.newenglandquiltseminars.com.  Please let me know if you have any questions! 

Take care,  Missie
