Antique Applique Quilt

Joyce used blocks from her grandmother and mother, and finished up this quilt by adding a few more blocks to it. There is such wonderful detail in the applique work!

The feather border and feathered wreaths really add to the old-world feel of it I think. Enjoy!

Happy quilting!

Spring Applique Quilt

Joyce's Applique Quilt

Doesn’t this just remind you of spring? And this year we have to be reminded because we went from winter to summer; or at least I think it’s almost summer. Not sure what happened to spring. Good thing this quilt came along!

Joyce did a fabulous job putting this together fromĀ  mostly found blocks. Seems to me she said she found some of them in an antique store on the cheap. And what a deal because they really are cute, and the quilt turned out nicely. Since Joyce is not a huge fan of the basic meander, I created a new meander, and I call it “mini me,” (OK, just checking to see if you were actually reading this!) – I call it a “paisley meander.” I did it fairly large, but the scale works with the inner green leaf borders around each flower.

Happy quilting! And under all circumstance, keep your sense of humor!

Applique Quilt

This is just the most wonderful applique quilt! My new customer, Joan, created this lovely wall hanging which includes cats and houses and all sorts of fun things. Colorful…and what a great border! We decided to do a simple overall swoosh ‘n swirl pattern (my complements to Sheila Sinclair Snyder who taught me this pattern) and it looks very fun.
