Applique Thursday 4/19/12

I was sorting through a box and came across this:


The label says it's from Lahaina, but I remember I bought it in Molokai when we went there on an Elderhostel trip (excuse me, they're called Road Scholar adventures now).  It was a great trip.  In one of the excusions to a distillery, I bought this kit which is very thorough - even had thread and needle.   Since it's about 6 years old, I'm going to try and finish it by doing a little at a time.  In other words not bury it for another 6 years.  I'm finding I'm not very good at needleturn - I can't seem to get the seam allowance even.  Maybe by just doing more I can correct that.  But then this was way before I learned back basting.  Now with that I've had more success.  Off to work on it.
 
What are you working on - applique or otherwise??  Please link below so we can all see your eye candy.
Thanks ever so much!

Giveaway Winner

Thank you all for entering my giveaway! You had some interesting guesses. I'd see a guess and look at the photo and, by golly, I could see where you were coming from for the most part - amazing! Oh, the power of suggestion.

The answer: a maze! I was so happy to see quite a few of you pick that as your answer as I was hoping I got it right when I was designing it. I've decided my Craftsy quilt is going to have a demonstration garden theme and a garden maze is part of that.

And the lucky winner of those who sent in Maze as their answer is
Robin! She said...
Congrats .............. I would like you to know I am a follower. Your block for April makes me think of a garden maze.

Please get back to me Robin with your snail mail address, and I'll send your package out to you.  I'll post a photo soon once I've rounded up all that will go in the box.

Again, thanks again for playing and welcome to all the new followers.

WIP Wednesday 4/18/12

I'm putting together a carpenter's star to have ready when Judy at Patchwork Times (see sidebar) has her feather quilting demo.  Another opportunity to learn more/practice free motion quilting.  I've minimized it as I didn't want a huge project - this will be about 32" square - her's more like 48 x60.

I'm linking this to Esther's WIP Wednesday.  you can see the button on my sidebar.  What are you working on today?

Progrees is Made

Progress is made, at least some.  More blocks were added to the baby quilt I was working on (see previous post). More scraps were used. I...
