I mentioned yesterday that I had another Jelly Roll applique that I was working on as an example for an upcoming class. Here it is…a little Best Friends wall hanging. This is just an example of what you can do with machine applique. We will have a class at The Studio on Saturday, January 7th at 1 pm if you would like to learn this fun technique. There is so much you can do with it from quilts to wall hangings to jackets to jeans. Applique works for a lot of different projects. Come learn how. Click here for more information and to register. Space is limited so don’t wait too long to get in on it!

Just completed this lap quilt (or wall hanging) using batiq jelly roll and other fabric from my stash. I was working on some ideas for a large applique for an upcoming class. I have another idea under the needle right now and when I complete it today I’ll post it and we will schedule the class. These are fun and give you an opportunity to make something specific to you or the person you are going to gift with your work! Watch for it!

My good friend and dog sitter extraordinaire, Sandy, recently celebrated her birthday. She had gotten this cute denim jacket but to make it special like she is I added an applique for her. She chose the symbol for Good Luck. It looks great on her and suits her perfectly! Belated Happy Birthday Sandy!

Yesterday I got to finish the “Pup Walk” applique and quilt piece that was started a few years ago.  I love the way raw edge applique looks and wanted to give it a try along with free motion quilting.  Plus I have a different machine with decorative stitches that I wanted to test.  I let other things get in the way of sewing and needlework so I was glad to finally get back to it.  There are several more projects that I’d like to try using this technique.  Lots of possibilities.

I got to play a little with free form applique this week.  I have been reading about it lately and wanted to give it a try so I found this plain sweater and decided to embellish it with a little birdie.  I like it.  Now I want to try more.
