Applique Thursday 11/3/11

Hello, I'm in Houston.  I did finally finish my cherry tree block while here, but will have to post when I get to California.  Here is a quilt by Teri Christopherson that I would like to make some day.  It is in her book:  Days to Remember . This is a photo from her book.  While this is out of print, you can find it on Amazon and on eBay right now.  It has some lovely projects.  I love her use of applique and patchwork in most of her quilts.  This one is called Pointsettia Wreaths.  I've thought of using the pattern layout as a quilting motif - would fit a 15"  block easily. I also love her book:  Best of Black Mountain Quilts!

Would love to see your applique and piecing projects, present, past or future or even a photo of one you admire. Please link below so we can see your eye candy.

Now off to Preview Night at the International Quilt Festival!

Happy Halloween!  Here is the back of my two color quilt squares.  Have to figure out how to do the borders.

Blog Fall Festival Oct 29, 2011

Isn't it wonderful that it's time for another Blogger Festival?  Thank you, Amy, for bringing so much eye candy our way and the goodies!!  Oh,my!                         This is a Blue Star Service banner wall hanging I made for one of our friends.  At one time she had 3 sons in the Army, and one in the Navy (she has six sons).  Now there is one - he's a Colonel and a Doctor still in service to his country.  Go over to Amy's Festival and feast your eyes on all the beautiful quilts on display.  The button is on my right sidebar and here below.
