Yep....right there in my very own piles of WIP's I found this Antique Flower Garden Project from KimSchaefer's Flower Festival book. This is block #50 called Yippee Twist:
When I first learned to applique, I found this BOM to be too difficult for my beginner hands. Now a few years later, I feel able to tackle it.
This will be one of the projects I'll look forward to sharing throughout 2015. I have missed having an applique project and am looking forward to sharing this on Sunday's at Kathy's.
With Smiles,
Val:)
I know what you mean about how our abilities change. I often think back to when I did my Hawaiian quilt which was pretty simple, but back then it seemed so frustrating. It takes a lot of tenacity to become happy with our quilting.
ReplyDeleteIt's such a nice feeling when you can realize how far you've come in developing skills. It looks like you have some fun stitching for next year.
ReplyDeleteBeautiful block! I know what you mean, I have a BOM that is waiting for me to be good enough to stitch it :)
ReplyDeleteThis looks like a perfect BOM project for 2015! I am not a huge fan of doing appliqué, I prefer wool felt appliqué or embroidery. This will be perfect to share for Slow Sunday Stitching and the fact that you already have everything you need is even better!!!
ReplyDeleteMerry Christmas and Happy New Year Val
ReplyDeleteOh, this is pretty - look forward to your progress thru the new year.
ReplyDeleteOh so pretty / it will be fun to enjoy your progress ! :)
ReplyDeleteI LOVE that quilt. I have the book and it is one of my favorite quilts in it. Good luck with the BOM applique. You can do it!!!!!! Looking forward to seeing your progress in 2015. Happy New Year.. Happy New Project!
ReplyDeleteOOooohhh..awwwwww! So pretty. I have yet to do any hand applique.
ReplyDeleteIt's a beautiful project Val - No wonder you are excited!
ReplyDeleteNice find. Glad you are all ready for the start of 2015

ReplyDeletethis is going to be a good project to follow you progress on, applique seems to be getting more and more popular, maybe i ill have to have a try at a simple very simple project too
