I have been anxious to try out some techniques I learned on Interweave and Craftsy.com So here I go. I started out by choosing and cutting out layers of perfused fabric.
Fusing to wool felt.
Quilted background. Fusing fish and pond plants.
Tomorrow applique stitching and hopefully embellishments. I can see I need work on my camera skills.
As I am researching websites to learn the Art of Quilt Making, I find a website I love and then forget what it was called or why I liked it so much. I hope to expand this list and use it to help me find that special tutorial or cute little store that I use for special items. Hope it helps other beginners like me get started on their quilting journey also.

On their Quilting Arts Workshop™ video Improvisational Fused Quilt Art: Create Beautiful Art Quilts the Easy Way, these experienced, award-winning quilt artists show several options for finishing their quilts.
Here is a very simple technique that Frieda demonstrates.
1. Create a frame by fusing fabric to both sides of a piece of Timtex® interfacing.
Timtex is a good choice because it is firm without being bulky and you can stitch and cut through it easily, says Frieda.
