Appetite for Applique

Doing lots of appliques these days. Above is my latest project. I'm so glad to have Leah Day's timely lessons on free motion quilting to give me confidence to do my own top quilting. Whether it's straight line quilting or free motion quilting, don't be afraid to try, make mistakes, learn from your mistakes, and keep it moving. With my new Janome 7700 machine I'm eager to try anything-- at least once, twice, whatever.

By the way, remember the Butterscotch quilt I started a few weeks ago? This is how it looks weeks later with a few more appliques applied. I'm planning to add beads and other accessories to this one. Stay tuned!
