There is a book called “Applique Beyond the Basics …” . How about after the word “basics ” add somehting that identifies you , such as
“Sandra’s Stupendous Stitches ”
“Sandra’s Stitchwitchery”
“Sandra’s Sumptious Stitches”
“SAndra’s Embroidered Elegance”

Details for Tea? The Devil’s in the Details? Detail Oriented Applique? Applique in Detail?

I was wondering why you were being such a tease with your pictures – hadn’t even thought about what you mentioned… that’s pretty sad, isn’t it? Sheesh…

The design was really complicated, which is why originally it was put on the shelf until my skill could catch up.

Since there are approx. 1,000 leaves in a 45″ sq. area, I couldn’t quite bring myself to drop it and so it has sat on the shelf for 4 of the six years.

The problem I have now is the fabrics are looking dated–what to do. I don’t want to do all of those leaves all over again! Then I have all of those new quilt ideas bursting to get out into fabric. Sigh, never enough time huh?

The garden doors in real life though are awesome if I do say so myself. The little handles look so real you want to reach out and open them. There are four of them surrounding a knot garden. That is all I will reveal.

Oh and my mom has also been on me to finish this quilt too.
