Gals, I am really liking what you are all doing. I think we are all somewhat self taught. My first applique project was made from a pattern I attempted to copy. Recall those snowflakes we folded and folded and then cut a design, well this was my first applique project. Turned out pretty good and I knew then that applique would be my preferred quilting technique.
Presently, I am preparing to do Gramdma Country Album from McCalls Quilting 1989/90(?). I did Country Album II and recently my son took it home with my blessing, so now I need to replace it. Robert Callaham is my favorite designer. I have also done several of his centers. Suz
