Applique is an art form. If you do it well it is beautiful. Karen is working on this stunning block and enhancing it with sequins. She had considered making itty-bitty little applique circles but we sort of thought these little blingy bits were just the right stuff. I cannot wait to see what she does with all this. All her quilts are different, stylish and so distinctive. Many quilters have a style of sorts, I think I do. But Karen has a wide range of talents that translate differently with each item she makes!
I think I am probably a pain in the patootie with the camera snaps all the time but I learn by studying the work of others. This is the beginning of a wool applique block by Linda. She has several others in that little plastic snap box. This is another one of the projects that will come together and I will say, how did she do that?
I know I have shown this in the past but it is worth another visit. Marilyn made this beauty in these neutral tones a while ago. In the markets the neutral toned fabrics remain popular among quilters. If you are gifting a quilt and unsure of colors this is the way to go.
The quilting pattern was done by a long-arm pro in a dark thread. Way to go Marilyn.
