This blog is dedicated to applique. Glorious applique!!! The focus here will be hand applique, but there is room for machine applique too. Kim McLean is the designer whose patterns and quilts we will be working on together. Are you ready?! Let's SEW!!!
Hi Paula, and welcome!!! Your first block is looking TERRIFIC! I love that apple, and I too happen to REALLY like how the grapes are done in a variety of colors. Thanks for sharing. We'll (all) be looking forward to seeing your next block. ; )
the Urn is out of a Kaffe fabric that I purchase from a friend's stash....I buy it everywhere and have collected this stash for a long time now. I used Kaffe on an Aunt Millie's Garden quilt (which I am handquilting right now) ..I am blessed with a job where I travel. Bought Kaffe in Atlanta GA, Uptown Quilter, Rogers AR. Rabbits Lair, City Quilter, NY City, and Broken Arrown, OK Sewflakes......
Wow Paula, what a gorgeous block! Love the fruits especially the paw paw looking one. well done! love to see your next block. Love your stash in your sewing room too. Cheers, Kim McL
