Love to applique

I wanted to share some of the quilts tops that I have completed this year. The pictures are not the best



The designer of this Sunflower quilt in Marilyn McSpadden. The same designer who design the Snowman Quilt. I have someone special in mind to quilt this one.



This is a pattern I found in a McCalls magazine. I'm going to have this one quilted by my aunt.  




This one is from a book titled Ruby Red Dots from Kansas City Star Publishers 

Unfortunately I did not get all the quilt in the picture and this is the only picture I have of it. Because right now and has been hanging in a friends quilt shop.  It has applique border that is really a nice touch. This one is going to be hand quilted.



Do you notice a common theme, I love to applique, whether it is by hand or on the machine. I am working on a couple others also.

Till next time

    Just stopped by from Quilting Bloggers to enjoy your interesting blog. I, too, live on a farm (in Tunisia) and am an appliqué fan although I haven't gotten anything appliquéd on my blog yet. Love your appliqué quilt tops especially the ruby dot one.

    Your quilt tops are beautiful. I love to applique, but have never finished a large project. After seeing yours, I really want to get started on one. Thank you for the inspiration.

Welcome friends to share a thought, I enjoy reading them and will try my best to reply back by email most of the time. But if you do not hear back it's because you are a no-reply blogger.

How to Make a Portable Design Wall

I had wanted to get a portable design wall to take to retreats but did not want to pay the price. Looked at various pins on pinterest and took ideas from more than one to come up with my verison. It worked out great and only cost a fraction of the price. The PVC pipes, joints and 2 yards of felt cost under $22.00 My design wall is 4' x 4' which stands approximately 5 1/5' tall. For this size need 2 - 10ft length of 3/4" PVC pipe for the frame and 4ft of 1" PVC pipe for the feet Cut the 3/4" PVC into 4 - 4' section                                                                                       2 - 1' section              Cut the 1"  PVC into 4 - 1' section        ...

Yarn Along 2/20/13 Spoon Pin Doily

It's snowing here and I know some of you are tired of snow but here we will take the moisture any way we can get it. Plus it just gives me a reason to stay in and work on some of my projects. In this picture I'm not sure if you can make it out but in the background there are some wild turkeys that hang around the house sometime, just  chilling This project I'm working on is Spool Pin Doilies.   I had never heard of them before until Bonnie Hunter had mentioned it on her blog . She a had a viewer send her one for her sewing machine along with a pattern. I did not like the pattern but loved the idea so I decided to make up my own version. I wanted a more simple, smaller and fuller doily. So I tried different thread sizes to get one that I like. (From left to right) I tried sock yarn, which I'll redo because I think I like that look. Heavy weight crochet thread, nope too big Bamboo yarn, I like it. Looks good on my Kenmore. Pearl c...

Countdown to Autumn. 18 days

  After some thought I came up with a general "get to" list for a pre - Autumn preparation. I had mentioned a couple in the last post. I will keep those and have added a few more. I needed to remind myself that a lot of my ideas are a little premature hance the pre autumn and will be better done next month. So here is what I came up with... Deep cleaning is still on Planning activity for next month Decorating inside and out.   Making a fall outfit, sewing and knitting Find some new recipes to try Make a pair of fall or Halloween socks I will be focus on journaling with Autumn being the present subject.  Making sourdough bread again This one I have already started, Watching a cozy, feel good show. So "the man of the place" and are rewatching PBS All Creatures Great and Small. In a matter of a couple days we have watched season 1.
