A Walk in the Mountains by Piece O'Cake

My most favorite quilt is the first one I made on my Embroidery Machine. It is called "My Secret Garden. I made it about 5 years ago and it has been on my bed ever since. I have changed to other quilts but I always put this one back on.

I think my favorite is the one I finished in a hurry for my aunt who passed away 4 days later. My second favorite is the one in my avitar my very first quilt.

Is this a Jenny Haskins pattern? It's beautiful. Esther

Here's my favorite. It was for a very dear Japanese friend of mine that I made for Christmas '09, unfortunately shortly after that she was diagnosed with a very aggressive form of stomach cancer and died last June. It is now in Japan with her brother and his family, where it's also much loved.

This is such a beautiful quilt. Such memories for you!!!

All the ones you all have posted are beautiful. My favorite is the one I made for our cabin...... my first applique project.

Great job, nanna-up-north, applique is something I try to stay away from. LOL

I was with you till I learned a technique that worked for me. I think that is the answer to applique.... The LQS owner showed me a method that made sense to me and I took off. I can applique just about anything now. .... and I love it cause I can take it with me and work on it while I'm waiting at the doctor's office or sitting at an auction.....

What a beautiful quilt!!! From a distance it almost looks like hand embroidery work in places!!! Love the colors ~ thanks for sharing!!

That is gorgeous.

Simply WOW.

Share, please? I hate applique, unless my embroidery machine does it for me!!!

HAHAH...I like that answer!

OK,,so are you going to share the technique..I just love doing hand work and really want to learn to applique and LOVE it...so far...I avoid it!

This is mine !

Gorgeous!

This is probably one of my favorites. I just love purple!

I guess my favorite is this one, made last year for my daughter. It's really hard to pick a favorite... it's like trying to pick a favorite child! They're all my favorite in their own way.

These are such beautiful quilts. So many talented quilters on here.

I Think ALL Of These Quilts here are Beautiful. Congrats to all of you for your Beautiful works of Art.

My scrappy Dresden Plate --- pieced by hand -- machine quilted. It was my attempt at reduce my scrap pile! HAH! :mrgreen:

Of course I will share my applique technique. I call it Jig-saw puzzle applique and it's based on the Carol Armstrong method shown in her book, Wild Birds: Designs for Applique & Quilting.

1. I draw the picture I want to applique twice on freezer paper. I number the pieces in the picture and note how I can layer the pieces. One picture gets cut into individual pieces and the other picture is the model to follow the puzzle.
2. Iron the cut out pieces of freezer paper on the right side of fabric I will use for each piece. Trim each edge that will be tucked under about 1/8 inch from the edge of paper.Leave edges that will be covered with another piece longer.
3. Fold under and fabric glue the edges that will be finished edges. Some of the pieces will overlap others to make the picture.
4. Pin the pieces together and hand stitch with whatever color the top piece will be.

Okay, I'm not perfect explaining without pictures. Is there a way to make an attachment on this site? I'd be happy to make a tutorial and attach it.

This is mine so far - maybe. It is the one I made for my granddaughter and the first one I quilted on my longarm.

This is beautiful and hand quilted too! Wow!
