Episode 56 Shop Hopping et al

Let’s take a magic journey through the shop hopping world of quilting…plus a little (lot?) of other stuff!

Episode 37 Applique, Applique, Applique!! a la Marsha, Marsha, Marsha!!!

Hey, welcome back!  In this episode we chat about half square triangles, and yup, you guessed it, Applique!

Shownotes for Episode 36 Eat Crow and let’s have cake.

So, this episode has me eating a little crow because I previously dissed the Quilter’s Home magazine and now – after trying it again – it does have its’ merits!

I also reviewed this book by Claire Garland.

And this book ‘Scraps and Shirttails: Reuse, Re-purpose, Recycle!’ by Bonnie K. Hunter.

I am continuing to work on this quilt. It’s called Fraktur – I’ve posted about it before.  It is really interesting to see how much my abilities have changed/grown since the beginning as this was one of the very first quilts I ever started!

I have also prepared the top left and right corners (prepared for applique by gluing into place with Glue Baste It ) I haven't updated the photo because the camera is upstairs and if I don't post this now - I don't know when I will!

Glue Baste It

A close up of the center square which will be 'medallionized' with pieced half-square triangles when the quilt is set.

Close up of the applique. I appliqued the center petals onto the flower by hand before appliqueing the blue one's by machine.

A blurry (sorry) shot of one of the side blocks which features this flower.

Not just another pretty face! The wings took a very long time to get just right...

And this is what a block looks like before I applique - everything is in its place before I start to sew. This way - I do all the green thread first and then the next color and so on...

So let’s say you wanted to get ALL 25 Episodes

in your itunes, and you can't because Stupid silly typepad pages get TOO heavy and take forever to load if you have too many posts to a page, so I limit it to 5 which means that usually only 1 episode is ever available at a given time.

But now let's say, and I'm just saying, that maybe you wanted to be able to download ALL 25 Fantasticly Awesome pretty OK episodes – THEN, you should go here:

GET ALL THE EPISODES HERE

and click the button that says 'subscribe with itunes' (right hand side of the page…)

AND I am working on uploading all 25 of these labors of love!
