Applique Thursday and More 3/15/12

Last year, Connie of Quilting by the River posted a great tutorial for a dish rug.  What is a dish rug? you ask.  Well it's for those bits and pieces that won't go in the dish washer, but not enough to warrant taking out the dish rack.  She made hers 18 x 20 - great way to destash.  Mine is 10 x 14 as the receipient has just that much space right of her sink.  And of course, I was able to add a bit of applique to this simply pieced item.  It is raw edge applique. The flower was adapted from a design by Esther Aliu.  She has a new BOM starting today.

What are you working on?  I love to see your eye candy in whatever stage it's in, and even if it's not applique.  TIA!

WIP Wednesday 3/14/12

This is a true work in progress.  I started it yesterday, have still to find all my blues, it's on my sewing machine to start assembling, it's new.  This is block 2 of our Guild's BOM - all about Riverside (our hometown).  It is a representation of Mt. Robidoux - a city park right in the middle of Downtown.  And it will have  a tiny bit of applique.

Do you have a WIP to share?  I'm linking over at Esther's blog (see my sidebar).  Would love to see yours.

It's a finish - block finish that is for 3/13/12

Finally!  Made another DJ block.  It has been so long, LOL.  Here is I-3.  Almost had to redo - the unfinished size is 5" as the ones in the book are 4 1/2".  I have to make a bookmark with that tidbit in red for the book!

I'm linking to Connie's Linky Party and Fabric Tuesday by Quilt Story.  Go on over to my sidebar and visit all the goodies posted there.
