Update: part three!!

Back again! I went to "Quilts in the barn" this year and it was wonderful! Jo Morton was the special guest and the display of her quilts and quilts made from her materials were so inspiring. The guest store was "The Quilted Crow" and so of course I had to buy something!!! Here is my newest table runner- cotton with wool applique. I'm still sewing down the wool- hence it's infinished state.

This project is the Vignette "In stitches" quilt. I stuffed up the tracing so I thought I would make a pillow out of it or something... I'm going to put it off to the side and get on with the real block so I can feel like I'm making some progress.

I'm glad I did these updates- boy I start a lot of projects!!! I have a few more but they are quilt tops and I think I'll wait until they're quilted. Wendy asked about my applique method- Floriani produce a product called stitch and wash. It was designed to be a stabliser for stitcheries but if you cut it out in the shape of your applique then iron it onto the back of your fabric- you can cut the material out, leaving a 1/4-1/8 inch seam allowance, and then glue the edges down and blind stitch it to your background. I call it cheating because it looks like needleturn applique but there is no tricky turning to do!!
