Penny Heron Makes Art Doable
Last night, I attended my guild meeting at the Piecemaker’s Guild. This is a group of quilters that meets once a month. Our membership has grown to 163 members! We have wonderful speakers that are interesting to the most experienced quilter and the beginning quilter alike. Last night, Penny Haren was our speaker. I had to take a breath after she finished talking. She had a whirlwind of information. She uses a piecing technique that she invented that turns applique into an art. As stated on her website, “Her technique, Pieced Appliqué™, eliminates inset points and curves from even the most complicated blocks. Quilts and blocks that you might never have considered are now not only possible but a breeze.” She already has 4 books out for purchase and those came about in just the past two years! Her ideas are so new that the publisher wants to get the information out for users before someone copies her ideas and claims them for their own.
Her books are easy to read and full of pictures so unlike auto insurance quotes one can learn by simply following the instructions. If you have thought about quilting those beautiful blocks that have a zillion points but have been afraid, here is your chance to produce beautiful blocks the easy way. Check out Penny Haren’s website and be sure to let me know what you have created.
