Rebekah came to Hickory Hill Studio on Sunday to start putting her cute applique blocks together. She also added little name tags to each block. She got these three put together….now just 9 more to go! I can’t wait to see it all together. Nice work girl!

A few weeks ago I made this little banner that I donated to our local Humane Society for their Barks & Bags Fundraiser event. I hope it auctioned off and raised some $$$ to help those babies at the shelter.

Our March banners turned out great! Just look at them. We had both sessions of our classes yesterday and had lots of fun with these leprechaun hats and clovers. Great work everyone!

Have you ever started working on a project and just could not stop until you got done? That’s what happened to me yesterday. I had an idea for this little fox applique to put on a modern stripe quilt that would be perfect for a little person and once I got the applique cut out I couln’t stop. So at 12:30 last night I finished this Quilt As You Go version of a striped quilt with the Little Fox Applique. I love him. This is two quilts in a row now that I am crazy about. Oh my! What to do next? (And check out the backing I used on this one. Isn’t it cute too???!!!)

Our Banner classes will meet this weekend to create the December banner that features a Christmas tree. And I will be teasing the next quarter’s classes with this cute little “Snowwoman” for our January classes that will feature applique. I love her!

A few years ago Brother decided that he wanted to learn to play the fiddle. So he taught himself how! Now he goes to fiddle fests and Bluegrass jams and fiddles and fiddles. I wanted to make him a special quilt. I decided that a large fiddle applique playing with darks against lights would be best. I like how it turned out but once Wendy Hughes, long-arm quilter extraordinaire, performed her magic it turned into an incredible quilt. Thanks Wendy! I love it…and I just heard from Brother. I mailed it to him and he got it today. He loved it too! 🙂

Like any good quilter I couldn’t bear to discard the cat cutout from the dog and cat applique that I posted yesterday. See it here. I didn’t need it for yesterday’s project but he was too cute to throw away. So this morning I thought I would rework a sweatshirt and turn it into a cute “Cat Cardigan”. And here it it! I bought a bunch of sweatshirts several years ago to do another project and never did use them all so I dug one out and pulled some fabric from the stash for the bottom and trim and appliqued the little cat on it. I think it works!!! So here is another idea for applique for those who are coming to the class in January. Learn more about the class and be sure to sign up for it here.
