Attention to Detail

To give her finished appliqués the look of trapunto, Wendy Sheppard machine-outline-quilted around each appliqué and added dense wave designs (known as McTavishing) in the appliqué backgrounds She also straight-stitched around the black-and-white dot circles so the center of each flower is flat and the petals are puffy. Wendy stitched free-motion swirls in the corner units and dense feather motifs in the border.
