Applique Thursday and more

I was working on a treasurer's report for a meeting today, so didn't get to post this last night, but here it is, my Applique Thursday report for this week.  I've basted the underpiece to the basket that holds the flowers.

And before I forget, last week's charm winner was Laurie.  Congrats, Laurie - I've sent you an email, so hope to hear from you to send out your charm.

You can win a 5" batik charm also.  I'm doing it for this Applique Thursday. Just link or comment for one chance or link and comment for two chances.  Good luck!

WIP Wednesday

Finally, have the quilt top done!  Now I only have to sandwich this 37" square wall hanging, and I'll be all ready to follow along on Judy Laquidara's Feather Quilting lessons. She is doing it on a long arm, but it will be usable by domestic sewing machine quilters, I think.  They start June 1st.  You can read about them here

I'm linking to Lee's Freshly Pieced WIP Wednesays - go on over and see all the goodies.

Fabric Tuesday/WOW

I helped with our local food pantry's yard sale - and amongst the things there was this:

Yes,  it is a mess - and this is after I washed it once.  But on the other side

 there is a lot of it that is not so bad at all!  It has a lot of interesting fabric. And it has a very interesting border I have not seen before on a Grandmother's Flower Garden.

Now I have to decide if I try to save a quarter of it or just some of the flowers, or if I should save any of it at all.  Some of the flowers seem to have just decinegrate, and the white is thin but holding up somewhat.  I am wondering also if I should salvage this by adding thin fusible interfacing or another layer of muslin.  What would you do.  As for the hexies, I plan to resew some by either ironing a piece of freezer paper to them and then  piecing, or using some of Beth Ferrier's disolvable template material.  What would you do?
