range from 3” to 12”. Using the Rapid Fire Lemoyne Star
template makes the block easier to piece because the Y seam is

Ms. Moody 2
Shoes: Let everyone know your mood by making two fun wall
hangings for your quilting area. One has a lady saying “ahhh…”
indicating all her piecing and sewing techniques have gone

possible. Or maybe you could make some slight changes to the
notions in the “bad” day hair and make a present for a special
nurse, teacher, etc. After all, everyone has good and bad
days! Learn machine appliqué techniques in this class. |
