Kimberbell Emma's Collage Pillow

Emma's Collage Pillows are chic decor for couches, benches, beds, and more! But...what is this "collage technique" everyone's talking about?

Collage Technique

Let's talk briefly about collage quilting in general. There's a distinct difference between a collage quilt and a traditional quilt: whereas traditional quilts are made from blocks that are pieced or sewn together, collage quilts are made from small, colorful pieces of fabric layered in an artsy way.

With Kimberbell's collage applique technique, it's easy (and fun!) to create this effect on your embroidery machine. Simply organize your fabric scraps by color, decide which element of the design will be which color(s), then layer small, fusible fabric shapes within the stitched placement line. These small colors and shapes come together to create a grand, dimensional picture.

The design CD includes three designs: Home, Bless This Nest, and Florals. Each is available in four sizes for 5x7, 6x10, 8x12, and 9x14. hoops!
