I'm having a love affair with Heat N Bond (or however they spell it). We've been spending a lot of time together recently and I reckon we'll be spending even more time together in the future.
Look at all the Liberty loveliness! The petal-y perfection! I don't know about you, but I think a wee tease of a snippet of the fabric is just as glorious, and in some cases showcases the fabric to it's best advantage.
These applique blocks are waiting to be satin-stitched and will, eventually, be part of a bed quilt for my parents.
I designed the placement template using a compass and pencil, then spent many a happy hour cutting out the petals in front of the TV.
Oops - not many left! I need more Heat N Bond.
Linking up with WIP Wednesday at Freshly Pieced.
This is so spring like and lovely. Great choice of fabrics for it too! By the way, I hope you don't mind me suggesting, but it would be really great if you had the name/url option turned on for commenting. I have a self-hosted blog and at the moment, teh only way I can comment is logged in as my old Blogger account. :-) http://www.maybushstudio.com
ReplyDeleteHi Clare - thank you for letting me know! I've had a fiddle with my settings and I think (*crosses fingers*) I've found the way to make it so anyone can comment. I'd be grateful if you could let me know if I've fixed the problem? I'm afraid I'm less than tech-savvy and keep pressing buttons in the hopes of improving things :)
DeleteThese are stunning, are you just making blocks of these for the quilt or other blocks too?
ReplyDeleteThank you :)! In all honesty I'm not sure yet. I'm an impatient sort and am still designing as I go.
DeletePretty fabrics for a wonderful applique!
ReplyDelete:) Thanks :)
DeleteBeautiful choice of colours - lucky parents!!
ReplyDeleteThis is going to be really beautiful. I am quite envious of your parents!
