I'd like to show you how
to give a little dimension to appliques using cutouts of wool
batting. The first picture shows the paper patterns that I traced
from the quilt top. I pinned them to two layers of wool batt and cut
them out.
I use quilt basting spray
to lightly spray the bears. Reaching just under the quilt top, I pat
them in place between the top and the regular batting layer. Then
smooth the top back in place.
The next picture shows
that I have outlined the Momma Bear, and not yet the Baby Bear.
And, now with the
background filled in with a loose meander, the bears have a nice
puff. Papa Bear resides at the bottom edge of the quilt.
I used this same technique
to stuff birds, fish and flowers. Best to do this with simple shapes
without a lot of detail. Cute, huh?
