I don’t know about you, but I just can’t resist appliqué quilts — whether it’s needle-turn, raw-edge, or reverse appliqué. I’ve dabbled in hand and machine appliqué over the years with varying rates of success which makes me all the more impressed when it’s done well. Since I’ve yet to master the varying appliqué techniques, I’m always on the lookout for new tutorials that will help me improve my skills. So when I found the best raw-edge machine appliqué technique in Lisa Cox’s book A Spoonful of Sugar, I had to try it!

I have been in love with appliqué since I started quilting. My second quilt had appliqué on it. I’m always on the lookout for ways to add some appliqué to my quilts. My pattern, Miss Kyra, has appliqué on the seams! I know many quilters are put off by anything to do with handwork. I was too at first. What really got me going with appliqué was learning the starch and press technique.

It’s always fun to come up with quick playful projects that can be whipped out in an evening or taken on the go. Which is exactly what I had in mind when designing this quilted moon koozie. As a lover of all things nature, I jumped at the chance to design a project around National Moon Day, which honestly, prior to this I didn’t even know was a thing. Now, it might just join the ranks of favorites! National Moon Day, celebrated annually on July 20th, commemorates the day when humans first set foot on the moon during the Apollo 11 mission in 1969.
