Applique Day Today / Berries and Blossoms Quilt

November 14, 2016 4 Comments

Its an applique day today, making an early start while the rest of the house sleeps.

My faithful Kitty Kat is here to help.I have spent snippets of time in between spending time with family, making all these circles and flowers for the borders of my quilt. 160 circles on the border alone, but well worth it as they really look great. The borders are basted and all ready to be stitched down. I am stitching my applique invisibly by machine, although it is faster it is a little tedious at times. A good audio book keeps me going, I have been listening to 'The Summer Girls' by Mary Alice Munroe.

Happy Stitching

Hi Sharon love love these colours you are working in. I’m either working on my 1930 GMFG or making tiny pieces of applique to make flowers for my LE> I have been dreaming a lot of my DJ lately so I think I will have to give in and go back to making some more blocks for her it is such a long time since I made any. Cheers Glenda
