DONE!!

I am so pleased with myself... I have completed all of my applique for Month 2... My fingers are somewhat sore as I did not realize 24 blocks and 96 leaves later.  I have finished with a week to spare, I am so glad that I am done and can relax before club on Wednesday.

Seeing how I have felt really good in doing this I have attempted to start on Month 1's applique.  I have 2 of the flowers on but I do have to take one off as it is not centered...  Well I am just taking a break from applique for the rest of the week and then I will start on the big block applique.

Well until next week - have a great April

Now back to work on the appliqué.  I have 4 blocks completed so that means 20 more to go…

Man, I am going to be a pro at this by the time that I am done.

First Applique

Well, I have started my journey into applique.  It has been an adventure that I am sure to enjoy.  I thought I would share with you my very first applique.  Now, it is not perfect as this is my first....

LONG Night

Last night was the 2nd club meeting and I was the only one that did not have the applique completed for month one... I was a little sad but in due time it will all be completed.

After the meeting, I met with Evelyn to show me how to applique.  It was great, I learnt so much, but I will see how much is retained when I start this big applique project...I have signed up for her class on April 4th so I will be doing this there with her supervision just in case I go really wrong.  This piece has to look perfect as it is the center of the quilt and I don't want to mess it up.

In the club we got our 2nd pattern - GUESS WHAT!!! this has applique as well - Orange Peels....  So from what Evelyn taught me yesterday, I have decided to get my templates and everything organized for this applique.. This might be my practice applique.

The pattern only calls for 2 blocks that are not applique so I will get those done and out of the way and then start on cutting the blocks for the Orange Peels (a little big and then I can down size).  We have to make 24 blocks of Orange Peels that is 96 Orange Peels that have to appliqued in ONE MONTH....I don't think that I will have this done for club but I will have a good start.
