WOW!!! Love the blocks, colors, fabrics, applique and your piecing is outstanding. Will there be applique on the borders also? You did a wonderful job. Congratulations. Suzanne

If anyone has any advice on appliqué with felt or flannel please pm me and let ms know!! Long story short, my husband and I have backgrounds with specific animals that you can't really find on baby clothes (reptiles) but since I have so many cute patterns I wanted to appliqué the animals onto a few onesies for our baby girl coming in March. I have never appliqued before but know how I want it to look when complete, just not sure what type of fabric to use. :-/
Thanks for all and any help!!! |
WOO HOO! I just finished stitching up the 20 hearts!

Karen I just love your Flower Basket quilt. You do such neat work. Where can I find those patterns? I really have something for baskets.

Taken with the cell phone so the colors aren't consistant. When I get to work on Monday I might take a better pix with the work camera. |
I would like to get in the applique chats. Thx

http://www.quiltingboard.com/t-64769-18.htm It's a relatively easy one to do and looks kinda nice when all put together. Do you already do applique Maggie Rose or do you want to learn? If you do it already, what is your favorite method for doing it? Needleturn, fused, hand vs machine? There, that should give you some place to start (grins). Welcome to the group. it's for all levels of stitchers so don't be bashful. |

One of these days I'll try machine embroidery again. It didn't work out the best the last time I tried but for now I'm working on the hand skills. Nothing wrong with doing it on a machine. It's the end results that count, not necessarily how you get there.

Top row - 5 4 3 2 2nd row - 4 5 4 3 3rd row - 3 4 5 4 4th row - 2 3 4 5 5th row - 1 2 3 4 print #1 will go at the #1 position print #2 will go at all the #2s positions print #3 will go at all the #3s positions, etc. Choose one or several methods of applique to make the blocks by hand or machine. We will add one border only - 2" finished (cut 2-1/2 strips). Inside this border will be a 1/4" piping. Binding to match the 2" border OR cut strips from all of the heart prints, stitching pieces together at an angle. Cutting at an angle distributed bulk and looks better, therefore, no straight cuts. Your favorite print should probably be #4 since we will use more of it. We will go over the piping later. The finished size will be approximately 22" x 26-1/2" (if my math is good). |
