Fresh applique


Hello - ! 

Ive been doing various forms of raw edge applique for years. I loved using the "hover foot" on the Viking machines Ive had to do gorgeous blanket stitches around shapes. 

I also use a straight stitch machine to do straight stitching around shapes. 

Ive posted a youtube video I made about the following quilt. The video below is just me talking. 




 

The applique above is raw edge with machine embroidery designs and free motion quilting. 


I love raw edge applique. I do not do any hand work, or turned edge applique.


All the best to you. 

Taffy.

It is Labor Day weekend! I love this holiday .... I'm having a sale on my Etsy to celebrate the cooler weather coming. George and I are making quilts and going to New Orleans parades this weekend. So much fun. I was out shopping and saw this hilarious pic! Mirror images are not who we are! I am the person I see reflected in the faces of people who love me. Although ... I did take this selfie today, too. Quilt stuff? I'm making a star quilt for my bed. It will be partially scraps and partially other fabrics that were gifted to me or bought. I think I'm going to make an effort to make it clash as much as possible! Hope you all will find some fun this weekend. It's for us. The workers.
