Hi All, Just joined the group and this will be my first post. I will have to blame my friend Judy (AKA Judith of Lollypop) for my addiction to Kim McLean. After seeing her quilts and all the beautiful quilts on the Glorious Applique Blog I just had to join in.
My first attempt has been to do the Hearts and Flowers quilt from Kaffe Fassett's Quilt Romance book.
I ordered the fabric kit from Glorious Color and have made several trips to Intown one of my local quilt shops to pick up more. Did I mention this was an addiction?
Gorgeous, Nancy! Wonderful fussy-cutting!

It looks fantastic Nancy, I hope to be starting this next week - I can't wait.
ReplyDeleteYour center is gorgeous! You have a good eye for choosing just the right pieces of fabric.
ReplyDeleteI said I wasn't going to do this quilt....but somehow I ended up ordering that book. ;)
Breathtaking!!! Your fussy cutting is exceptional.

Is that Intown Quilters in Decatur GA? That's my local shop also and it's fabulous. As is your appliqué.
ReplyDeleteMy favorite part is the fussy cut hearts - love 'em!
ReplyDeleteGorgeous! You have some of the prettiest berries, leaves and hearts (I am gazing in envy at your fussy cutting!)
ReplyDeleteWelcome, Nancy! Your Hearts and Flowers quilt is gorgeous!!! LOVE the fussy cutting you did. : )
ReplyDeleteAddiction...?! Hi. My name is Pam. I've been collecting Kaffe fabrics for 7'ish years now. And, I've been a Kim McLean enthusiast for over a year. ; ) I think I'm in the RIGHT place!!!
Love your quilt! Your fabric selections are wonderful. Lucky you to have Intown Quilters to shop in! Even though I live many miles away, I visit my daughter in Atlanta and that is my favorite quilt shop anywhere. I have flown away from there having to pay extra baggage fees for all the fabric in my suitcase! (They once asked me if I wanted to take something out of my heavy bag to avoid the charge. What was I going to do?? Wear all that fabric??)
ReplyDeleteThanks for all the nice comments about my quilt. Picking the fabric and doing the fussy cutting was the hardest part for me so I am glad everyone thinks I did alright.
ReplyDeleteIt is fun, bright and cheerful! Great job!
ReplyDeleteSally, I've shipped dirty clothes home many times. I have to have all that beautiful fabric with me when I get there. I could care less when, or if, my clothes get home. Tells you where my priorities are, eh?
