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        ...

I have a lot of bird related patterns, especially ones that are chickens This quilt I made last year from a pattern in Quiltmania. Then here are a few more patterns I had and thought about doing. But time wasn't on my side for a big project.  You see I'm going to see "the little dudes" next week, it's their first birthday. Blake and Ben, my "little dudes" Can't believe it's been a year already. OK back to topic here.  A couple of years ago while at the Dallas Quilt show I purchased this pincushion.   I thought it was interesting but what I really wanted was the pattern. It came from a shop in Texas,...
