Frustrated by traditional appliqué methods?  Check out the amazing Apliquick tools recommended by Lynette Anderson (Episode 1601).  These surgical steel tools will take your method from frustrating to fantastic.

The Apliquick Tools will simplify your glue stick appliqué.  Each packet comes with two tools.  Hold one in your left hand to hold fabric in place.  With the other tool you simply hold your fabric as you turn it to the wrong side and press it in place.  Check out the video to see how this tool will change your life!

It's time to begin work on the hedgerows.  Join 2015 BOM designer Lynette Anderson as she guides you along this journey back through her childhood.  "Wonderful wildflowers grew tangled in the hedgerows.  My grandmother taught me all their names when I was little.  This month’s appliqué represents the glorious flowers I remember from my childhood days.  I arranged the bias stems, flowers, and leaves with the simple spontaneity and joy of a child’s drawing."
