Started the hand applique in March....done last night with the last binding stitch

Machine quilting...on a domestic machine....

Applique patterned modified from one on www.fatcatpatterns.com

I really like having a hand stitching project going at the same time as machine ones so I can take it with me and work at kid events, etc.

Quilt is just lovely & you did such beautiful needlework. Thanks for the pattern page, that was thoughtful of you.

ooooooo.........LOVE IT!!! :thumbup: :thumbup:

Beautiful!

Well I truly just love your quilt and the pattern. On the applique did you needle turn as you go around. I need a close up view of how you did the applique. Love the colors. Is this a pattern you can share or give us the name of the pattern company and or book. Lots of questions. Ha. Sorry. Just love the quilt. Especially since I am looking at snow snow snow out my Tn window.

Quite nice. Love the applique border & how it 'goes with'
the rest of the quilt.

Love it... :thumbup:

That's so pretty!

Beautiful work on this!!

That is so very pretty!! I just love it and your hand stitching is great!

its beautiful and thanks for posting the link where you found the pattern, I am working on a sampler quilt of my own design and found a wonderful strawberry applique block I am going to add to my quilt.

Thanks all! I really liked www.fatcatpatterns.com and she has some beautiful intricate BOMs for those that are advanced.

I have done raw edge in the past, but did like needle turn for this. I would like to do needle turn again on the flower basket pattern that someone here posted a while back....I even got the pattern! But I think I am going to work on a grandmother's flower garden for now as handwork.

And here is a closeup for those who have asked:

Beautiful quilt.

I've decided that the block of the month I joined will be my "by hand" project. Though I have started to surprise myself by how much I can get done at the ice rink during practices.

Cheers, K

love the applique and love geraniums

Very pretty!

Love this quilt. The petals of the flowers are beautiful with the color variation.

beautiful!

Your quilt is absolutely gorgeous.

WOW! You do beautiful work.

Your quilt is gorgeous.

Your quilt is beautiful! I love doing needle turn applique. I started out with the Pacific Rim quilts which is a reverse, two fabric applique. I always need a "refresher" with each quilt. Nancy Chong has a great DVD with a dragonfly pattern that shows the whole process. It really helped me learn the technique. It's great for learning how to bind, too... but that's a whole other story! :roll:
You do gorgeous work... can you even call it work? It's playtime for me :wink:
Love the colors... love the quilt! :thumbup:

beautiful!!! I really like this one

thanks!

I have the "herd of turtles" pattern by PR quilts that I got in Maui when we went last march as a 20th anniversary trip...along with material....but I am thinking of doing machine applique on that one rather than needle turn. We'll see!

ohhh how pretty i love it
