I have several small projects that I have been working on here and there, that I haven’t spoken about. I have been wanting to spend more time doing applique work. I have done machine applique, and I have a couple of projects that I have done raw edge applique work.
Striped Tote Raw Applique
This is the beginning of a tote I have almost completed. I have sewn on the flowers with a machine, raw edge applique method. I actually started this bag last summer! Bright and summery looking.
My latest endeavor is a wall quilt that is from the book “Bits and Pieces” by Karen Costello Soltys. The quilts are all small ones, which I enjoy doing to learn techniques that are new to me.
In the book - Maple Sugar Hearts
Here is the quilt in the book. I have always had a fondness for hearts.
From the Heart
Here is mine, with the hearts all laid out. I have a dark blue background with small pink flowers. The hearts are various pink and blue prints, mostly pink. I have actually gotten a couple of the hearts sewn on. Not as easy for me as I thought it may be. I good project for me to learn patience. :)
I hope that your day is full of love!
