Did you know I have a class on Craftsy? (now called Bluprint) It’s called Fusible Applique Made Easy. You get the pattern for the Woodland Critters quilt you see behind me. That pattern on its own is a $14.99 value! But you also get videos showing . . .
- How I choose fabric
- How I true up my fabric and cut background blocks
- How I quilt my blocks before adding applique
- Fusible applique basics – my favorite products and how to use them
- How I assemble every single block in the pattern
- My tricks for marking faces and how to handle overlapping bits
- Lots and lots of options for doing the eyes (the hardest bit)
- How I outline stitch all the pieces
- Fancy stitching options
- How to appliqué on knits (you’ll see me appliqué a fox on an adorable baby onesie)
- How to join those already-quilted blocks
- How to back the quilt and finish quilting it
- How to bind the quilt
It’s a terrific value!
Instead of showing you the quilts I made with the pattern, I thought I’d share some outstanding finished quilts and comments from students in the class. It has an average rating of 5 stars!
Suebee made this beauty. She writes. . .
Thank you so much for this class! I had a blast and am sure that I will using the techniques you have taught many more times! In fact, I have already started one of your flower quilts for my granddaughter!
Starbank64 made this lovely quilt. She writes. . .
So LOVED this class! I finished and learned a lot of nifty techniques. Thanks Wendi for sharing. I now have the knowledge and confidence to proceed with different appliqué quilts. ps thanks for the moose design will definitely go into the next woodland quilt, there will be another!
Look at the Woodland Critters quilt France Houde made! She even used the fox block as a starting point to create a skunk block! She writes. . .
This was so wonderful to have done this quilt. My first one in my life, and my daughter loves it very much. Thank you!!! When we went to the store to choose the backing & the binding, the person at the store asked us to participate to a quilting exposition, as they never saw a quilt like this before.
I love this quilt that gorillamama made. She added the moose, Buzz and the butterfly (three free applique patterns) and the mouse from the Noisy Farm quilt. I love it when people mix and match like that! She writes. . .
Best. Class. Ever! Learned so much, had tons of fun, and ended up with a project that I feel so happy to have made! Thank you so much, Wendi! You’re the bee’s knees!

I’m especially proud of how many people made their very first quilt with this class!

This is a great class. I’ve so enjoyed watching the classes. I recently bought enough fabrics that I love to make the quilt top. Now that I’ve finished my daughter’s wedding prayers quilt, (I’m only 10 months late with that quilt.) I’m ready to start on my critter quilt. But that is the beauty of Craftsy you can watch, and rewatch over and over again.
