I thought I would give you an update on my quilting.
I am still quilting but like many quilters my eye's are bigger than my capacity to do things. There is just so many things I want to try!
So first an update.
Last couple of years I have focused more on applique by machine and took several classes from the local quilt shop and through a quilt show that comes through every few years.
I thought about hand applique, but quickly realized that would just lead to more unfinished projects. I have enough of those.
Although I have finished a few of these class projects, I have a few more that I started that I need to complete.
Here is one that focused on button hole applique. I really like the stack of pumpkins, but not that crazy about how the welcome turned out. I guess I should use smaller letters. I have enough orange fabric to make another stack, so I will give it another shot with a different layout.
Another applique project I finished is this chick-a-dee. I really like this one. It uses a smaller button hole stitch.
And the final completed applique is this reverse applique. Although the book shows how to do this by hand, we learned to do this by machine. I really like how this one turned out.
And then finally my Grand Illusion status.
I have the top done, now just the quilting is left to do.
