Back in the garden on Slow Stitchin' Sunday

Last January I attended Quilt St. George and had the most wonderful time attending Norma Whaley's wool applique class.  She is such a gifted quilt designer.  I just love all of her patterns.  We learned her method of wool applique while making "At Home in the Garden".


Here it is one year later and I am still working on the quilt that I started then.  Truth be told I am still working on many quilts that I have started over this past year.  There are just so many quilts that I encounter that just speak to me.  They are all saying....make me! Make me!  And I can just not resist.  How can I disappoint them.  They all need to be made.

Now....I am making great progress on this quilt.  I only have 3 blocks left to applique.  So I decided what better way to spend Slow Stitching Sunday than working on this wonderful little quilt.  So here is the block I am working on now....

what better way to spend a chilly New England day...than working on some wool applique!

Until we meet again,
Paula

    Just stick with it and you will get it done! I am working on her pattern Cottage Garden and am quilting the border--slow and steady. Happy New Year!

      Thanx for those words of encouragement...slow and steady wins the race, right?

    Your flowers are just the thing for a cold winter day. They make me think of the warmth of summer. Unless I have a deadline for a quilt I don't worry too much about how long it takes. I think it's more important to enjoy the process than finish fast. Happy New Year to you!

    I think this is my favorite block on this quilt. I was checking through my mail. Did you see the crabapple quilt block? I might have to pull out my scrap box and make some of them.
