The Big "A"
I'm so psyched! Finished my Tis The Season SAL and now can officially join the next round using Anni Down's Some Kind of Wonderful book.
This next project uses scrap piecing, embroidery, and
So, my friends, any recommendations for an appliquéing newby? Any favorite appliqué authors? Blogs? YouTube videos? Tutorials? Any tips to share or "must knows"?
All help greatly appreciated!

Quiltin' Done!
Woot! Finished quilting my TIS SAL! Just have to bind & label, and I'm done! Can't play the next round with the other girls until I've completed this one!
Just stitched in the ditch, but I like it! Will share when the whole quilt is complete.
Happy Stitchin'

By the way, my friend Allie-Oops, is a genius! Followed her advice in basting the quilt, and my backing was perfectly smooth! http://allie-oopssweethappylife.blogspot.com/2011/09/undone.html

I'm Stitching! I'm Stitching!
I love this SAL and have loved spending my evenings stitching away. Here is the completed top. I'm not sure I'm keen on how the borders turned out - got a little too fancy. Think I should've left out the smaller "circles" border and went right from cranberry to green.
I missed the deadline (Sept 30th) but I'm plugging away - Chooky won't let me join round 3 until I'm done. Round 3 is Anni Down's Some Kind of Wonderful and, probably much to my friend Ann R.'s amusement, is filled with the "A" word! Guess I'm going to learn applique!
Stop back in a day or two and I'll share how I achieved the perfect 1/4" border/sashing. Very neat!
