Slow Sunday Stitching

First, the linky party to show us your progess on your projects is still open - ends Monday, Midnight.
Go here to link up and share with us your work.

Another  flower for WIP #3.

These go together so fast now that I know how to do them using Karen H's donut method.  I'm linking to Kathy's Slow Sunday Stitching.  Maybe I'll make another of these today.  I may only have three more to go. I should go count them.

WIPs Be Gone Week 28

I have a finish.  This was started just a few months ago, but since it has been months, I'm calling it a Work in Progress as I did keep working on it once I started it - not religously but now and then.
You saw it first 5/8/15

Then I had major problems with the second star because I cut some pieces wrong but didn't discover it until I tried to put the two stars together.  Got that done and then had to try to quilt it while my DGD was here for two weeks.

Finally got it all quilted:

Then bound:

It has freezer paper work, stencil work and FMQ.

It was my latest VA project.  It is based on a pattern by Shelly at Praire Moon Quilts. You can get the pattern and read more about it here. 

What are you up to? Would love to see whether finished or WIP progress. Share your goodness. Linky below that ends Monday, midnight.

I'm linking to Amanda's Finish it Friday, Richards Link A Finish Friday, Sarah's Can I get a Whoop, Whoop?and Lizzie's Free Motion Mavericks.

An InLinkz Link-up

Applique Tuesday

Our guest appliquer this week is Lily!  She wanted to put together something else.  I gave her a piece of background, around 10 x 12" I marked with a Frixion pen a 1/2" line in from the sides. I gave her a box of scraps and a glue stick.  Then I told her to paint a picture with the scraps - any color, size, shape she wanted.  Once she had them where she wanted them, I had her turn them over and rub some glue on the backs and replace to where she wanted them and pat them down.  This took her about an hour to do - I was able to get some quilting in while she created.  When done, we cut a like size piece of batting and I let her pick a back.  She picked colorful flowers. You can see the print in the border.  I cut the back an 1 1/4 larger than the front, sandwiched and did raw edge applique on the machine.  Here's Lily's piece:

I suggested she use it as a placemat. She looked at me affronted and said, "It'll get dirty, Grandma!" She's going to put it on the end table near her bed.

And on my design wall - another baby quilt top. This measures 30".

 I love those owls!

What have you been up to --applique or other wise?  Leave me a comment and I'll come by and take a look at your eye candy.  Blessings!
