Technique of the Week – Week 27 – Stuffed Dimensional Appliques

yr4week27

 

This week’s Technique of the Week is inspired by my friend Kathy York!

Check out this week’s video for info on how I made this!

Skill Level:Intermediate
Time Commitment: Weekend +
Cost: Around $4 for a bag of polyfil

I constructed the tentacle “stuffie” out of two flat pieces sewn together and then stuffed.  I added the suckers, which are just yo-yos made in decreasing diameter.

You can see in the top photo that the background warps a little, which is why I would next time use a Peltex or Timtex center instead of batting on the background quilt.

You absolutely MUST go visit my friend Kathy’s quilts that were my inspiration.
