Authentic Molas use the reverse appliqué method... In this 3 hour class we will use the fusible appliqué method This technique involves filling all the available space The horse shape is filled in... now to fill in the background area I am working with pre-fused fabrics and placing them on black felt I decided to use up the scrap fabrics all over the table for the background fill All the leftover snippets filled in the background nicely Giddyup I also had time to get this monkey mola done Mola Class Samples: I had fellow instructors over for Mola play days. I will post about that soon! I left the Thread Shed tonight and walked over to the house... The flowers in front of the house are putting on a show tonight as the sun sets...
