APPLIQUE PROJECTS UPDATE

I have been stitching and stitching and loving every minute of it.  Here are some pictures of what I have been working on.

Another block for the Designer BOM I have been working on.  The basket part of the block was paper pieced and then appliqued onto the two bottom squares. Second, the handle appliqued to the top two squares.  Third, the two parts were joined together and then the flowers and leaves added.

This is a section of filler for the BOM.  The individual blocks are 4 inches finished, so the little baskets were small to work with.

Some more filler blocks.  Fun to piece.

I have been visiting Tom Miner Quilts and Folk Art blog.  Nancy has been working on blocks from a Jan Patek set of patterns called "Collections".  I have had the set of patterns for a good while but had not taken the steps to starting the applique.  Nancy inspired me to get started on the quilt.  This is one of my favorite blocks from the set of patterns.  I took the photos on a dark brown chair so my block background doesn't show all that well being as it is also a brown.

The house block is the first one I did from the same set of patterns.  I had parts prepped for the block for quite some time but had not done any of the stitching.  I like houses on quilts, so I like this one very well.

I have more close to being ready to share with you.  I am off to my favorite stitching chair to get busy on that.
