Time to Thread my Needle :-)

I've been having so much fun! Why? I've been prepping more blocks to applique. WooHoo!!!!!!!



Don't you love my adorable party dresses? These are from Nanette's pattern called "All Dressed Up". You, too, can have this wonderful pattern by just visiting Nanette's blog.

Just need to decide on a background fabric and I'll be on my way. :-)






And another tulip block :-)


I need to add a bird and a couple of hearts. Some of you may recognize my tulips. It's a pattern that I've owned since before I started doing any kind of applique because I fell in love with it.

This pattern is called " Tulip Farm". It was designed by Blackbird Designs and released in 2001.


Thank you so much for telling me your preferred applique method. I hope you'll visit again.

In Friendship!

Darlene! Where do you find the time to applique so many beautiful projects!!! I LOVE to applique and you have me inspired to do it again very soon. I might just have to order one of the many applique BOMs I see here online!!! I could probably make a full applique in a year if I do one a month. I can still then keep to my other thousand or more ongoing projects LOL

Quiltingly Yours
