| 24 blocks of Glorious Garden |
I have started on my Glorious Garden (my name for Kim's Flower Garden pattern), quilt on January 3, 2013. Here I have all the blocks completed as of today July 4th 2013. The photo below shows the beginning of the top border. This is was done using needle turn applique in about 105,000 air miles. My favorite airport/flight activity other than reading. I am moving soon, so the floor is the only place to display it for now.

It would probably be easier if she sent it to me and I'll forward it on to you :-) Sorry, I couldn't resist! It's beautiful.
ReplyDeleteThese flowers are spectacular! What method of appliqued did you use?
ReplyDeletebeautiful work.. only 6 months.. you are a wizard. took me 15 months to get the appliqué done, sewing practically every night. I shall look forward to seeing more of this, love the name BTW
ReplyDeleteLovely blocks. Good use of colors. Good luck with your move!
ReplyDeleteWhat a gorgeous garden it will be! look forward to seeing the borders soon, Kim McL
ReplyDeleteThank you all for the wonderful comments. I am using needle turn applique. I mark the fabric with thin line crayola water soluble markers. When I am done, I rinse the blocks in cold water and the marks wash off. I soak in clean water for about 20 minutes to make sure that no residue is left. I do not use the red or the orange markers because they are harder to remove. Thanks again.
ReplyDeleteWow, beautiful work! You've really put those airmiles to good use! 105k miles since January! That's gruelling. But I'm sure the applique is a tonic!
ReplyDeleteI love your blocks! They are so colorful and inviting one to look and look and look. Great job! Good luck with your move.
ReplyDeleteWow... lots of fertiliser at work 'cos your garden is growing very quickly....and beautifully too!
ReplyDeleteWow, this is stunning! A true work of art. Good luck with your move and pack it carefully!
