Applique Thursday 10/6/11

In between all my commitments, I managed to squeeze in a few minutes here and there to work on my third owl.  He's all fused together - now I will have to find sit down time at my machine to stitch him down.  The pattern for this shop hop block came from Esther's Fabrics located in Washington state.  They were part of the 2010 shop hop - it's a big one!

Any applique to share?  I'd love to see a present or past project even a future one.  If it has piecing also - even better.  I love applique and piecing eye candy.  Leave a blog post or photo link below to your project.
Thanks so much.

WIP Wednesday 10/5/11

I do have other projects I'm working on - just not ready to show what I've done as it hasn't been that much. So here are the 4 latest crumb blocks I've made.  Our assignment this week was to use triangles.

You can see what all the crumbs are about at Jo's Crumb along.  The button is in my left sidebar.

To see what others are working on now, click on WIP Wednesdays by freshly pieced.  That's in the left sidebar, too.  Be inspired.

Crumb Along #5

Been gone most of last two days, so no crumbs done so far except for two.  The first one, the "W" took me almost an hour - too long for a crumb block.  So I'm looking into a way to make them easier.  I've gotten some useful suggestions and I will try them, but here is where I've come up with a way that will incorporate applique (machine that is) with the crumb piecies - and that's my near completed "a" block.  I'll see how that goes.

How are your crumbs coming along.  I hope to make some with triangles after dinner to start to play catch up.  You can see how other's are doing by clicking on the crumb along button on the top of my left sidebar.

Enjoy!
