Progress...progress

So far I am really happy with the way this is coming out!

 I m rusty in my quilt-making, that is for sure, but it is all coming back to me as I go along.

 

 I forgot how to make vines, for instance, and had to refresh my memory.

 I am using the "Perfect Stems" by Karen Kay Buckley.

I like how they are coming out.

Nice and raised up from the fabric.

 

There will be a border using the taupe gingham fabric, with more stitchery on it.

Someone at my quilt guild asked if it is a wall-hanging or what?

 I guess it could be, but I am going to use it as a table topper.

Center medallion finished!

I am loving this project. The center motif, which features stitchery and appliqué is complete, and now it will be appliquéd into the middle of the four block quilt. I am adding rick-rack around the circle. Then there will be a wide border which will also feature stitchery and appliqué.

I think I will also do some appliqué flowers and vines over the pieced blocks.  What do you think?

New Project sneak peek!

This is an original quilt I am working on. It features LOTS of stitchery, as you can see. I am hoping to have it finished in time to put in my quilt guild's quilt show, which is this September. 

I am really excited about this project. It is one of those that has just been flowing out of me. It's the best when that happens!

Blessings,

Just a little tee-hee for this Monday morning!

Taking a short break...

To work on an ABC quilt for my little grand daughter Amy.

I love stitchery and appliqué together, don't you?
This is a block of the month by my sweet friend Jenny of Elefantz.
 I love her patterns, they are always super quick. 

We are having a crazy day of rain, thunderstorms, fog and sleet. So I am happy to be home and cozy, stitching with cheerful fabrics and threads!

Blessings,

Annie
