Thanks for the feedback...I will finish stitching around both sets of the applique blocks, and figure out a setting for a wallhanging using each set...the ladies are actually supposed to represent Spring, Summer, Fall, Winter...On the flower blocks I actually have 7 different ones, just need to finish the stitching down the appliques...and choose 4 of them...
Thanks again, and anyone else, please feel free to let me know what you think. Kif |
Wow, kiffie, those are all beautiful! I'm trying to get an idea for this swap, but I have other swaps to finish. Kiffie, those are an inspiration.
|
Kiffie they are all so pretty. I do love the ladies though. I guess, because I haven't had any of those, and I collect dolls.
|
Kiffie, I like all your blocks their very pretty. I love applique.
|
Thanks to you all....you really warm a gal's heart! On the ladies I was teaching myself machine applique, when I showed it to my lqs teacher, she liked them, but alluded to the fact that the outlining stitch should have been closer together for outlining them. But I have to say that even now I prefer the looser zigzag or blanket stitch, so I didn't go back and re do it...I also know it is all more of a preference thing, too; that is the beauty of being a quilter, eh? :) Thanks again for all of your kind words!

Kiffie, I vote for the flowers and then the ladies. They are all very pretty.
|
Kiffie I know whichever one of us gets your wall hanging will be thrilled with it!!
|
Kiffie I agree with your thoughts on the outlining. I also had to look at all the pretty blocks, and they are ALL beautiful. Someone is going to be lucky if they are used in the swap. I hope someday I will be able to do embroidery that nice.

Again, you are all too kind with your feedback! JuneBillie, I am sure your embroidery is quite nice...I know I am my own worst critic...lol...On the ladies, it was my 1st attempt at machine embroidery/applique. On the flowers I am doing the embroidery by hand, which is actually what I am more comfortable doing. I always say how dull the world would be if we all liked the same things! I can't wait to see what everyone makes, that is one thing I love about swapping, the variety we all get!!
Regards, Kif |
i love the ladies too... your work is awesome, i will post pictures of my two blocks. We are at my son's now, but should be home by tomorrow evening~ i am so excited about getting back home! i love being on vacation, and this has been a good one in a lot of ways, but being injured has made so many things tougher!
