Applique Tutorials

McCordsville, quilt top by Barbara Brackman,

inspired by the work of Susan McCord.

Karla Menaugh's blog offers a class in fine machine applique. A recent topic is how to prepare and applique split leaves or two-tone leaves like those in the quilt above.

 The pattern is from a book that Karla, Shauna Christensen, Deb Rowden and I did several years ago called Our Favorite Quiltmakers: Susan McCord.

Thanks, Susan McCord by EuJane Taylor,

Photographed at Quilt Market a few years ago.

The Shade Garden Sampler included several applique blocks based on McCord's style.
