..is progressing nicely! In the evenings I have been stitching the blocks for the Autumn Heart to Hand Quilt . The appliques are wool and the background fabrics are Japanese fabrics that I bought at the Heart to Hand booth during the Road to California last year.
I skipped ahead to this block because the next Pumpkin block needed to be glued down…and I didn’t want to wait for the glue to dry. Oops! I see that I didn’t stitch the X’s in the middle of the white flowers…the Camera never lies!
Some close-ups…please excuse the wrinkles…
..and the stray threads!
And I forgot to show you pictures of this block…the basket pops more in ‘real life’…
Zooming in….
So there you have the Autumn Quilt…so far…I’m liking it..A LOT!

The background you are using for the wool blocks is just perfect. I like the mottled look. Gives it an appearance of age.
ReplyDeleteWhat a fun day you have in store for you. A sale of CW fat quarters, woohoo! Looking forward to see what you buy. I know it will be good. And speaking of good, Autumn is looking very good.
ReplyDeleteLove, love, love your blocks!!! They are fabulous.
ReplyDeleteHave lots and lots of fun at Calico Horse - can't wait to see your 'loot'. :-)
YOur wool blocks are so pretty.
ReplyDeleteWow that rose is beautiful too. Lots of detail.
I just love the wools you use for your appliques, it really makes the quilt. Lecien has some beautiful patterns, but the new one looks like too much work for me, lol.

Have fun-great blocks.
ReplyDeleteThe blocks are lovely! Have fun rescueing some fabrics!
ReplyDeleteI love this quilt. Do you use 505 spray? I do and love it as it glues my shape down but you can start working almost immediately. For some reason I thought you told me about it last year?
ReplyDeleteAnd what fun for the quilt store.
on your way back to Canada, have you ever thought of going up through Central Oregon? There are 9 shops in the area. Anna has done a wonderful job portraying them throughout her blog.
