Join us on a TQS exclusive 12-month creative journey with Becky Goldsmith as we bring you "Sizzle," a stunning quilt designed especially for TQS.
Each month we will provide photos, detailed directions for a portion of the quilt, and full-size patterns. Becky has also created a selection of "how-to" videos to guide you along the way.
Let's use this Topic "Sizzle Show and Tell" as a place to show off your beautiful Sizzle Blocks. That way, you know where to come to see what everyone is doing.
The topics that apply to each month are a good place to ask questions or make suggestions for each block.
AND when you post your photos to Social Media, like Instagram, Facebook, etc., use either of these hash tags so everyone there will be able to find our wonderful work:
I'm working on my borders now. Took a break to have lunch and, of course, check for updates.
The pieces are just pinned on for auditioning fabrics. The circles are place holders so I could accurately place the pieces.
The colors aren't very true.
And another great Sizzle quilt, this one with a Flying Geese pieced border, by Diane O, one of the Sunday Sew and Sews. They inspire me with their creativity.
Beautiful!

The poor photo is mine. She wanted this to be king size and so it is.
I am working on my borders and just thought i would share what i am doing. Some time ago I was sent some Alex Anderson's Quilters Select Appli-Stick. This appeared to be for raw edge applique but i wanted to do turned edge. I also have the Appliquick rods that I bought when they first came out in the UK and haven't really used them. You know how easy it is to get stuff at a show.
Well i decided to give it a try but to use the rods to turn over onto the sticky side instead of glue. It has worked well in the turning and shaping of the appliques, Here's hoping it doesn't gum up the needle when I stitch them down. Hope this might help someone else.

This is great info to put on the new Category Afternoon Delight. Please start a topic on How I Like to Appliqué, or start something like that so everyone who comes to the Afternoon Delight category can find it.
I will have LOTS of info on appliqué options as we go forward.
