Butterfly Quilt finished!
So pretty! You'll never lack for sunshine. Is it for the bed?
Roberta in D "Katinka in Germany" schrieb im Newsbeitrag ups.com... Just finished my latest quilt last night: My Butterfly Quilt! If you're interested, please go see: http://hometown.aol.de/rklatrille/homepage/basteln.html Can you tell by the colours that spring is here again?! ;-) And did I ever tell you I love bright colours ... ? :-D Katinka in Germany. |

Re. butterflies and morning glorys question
Yes, Myrl, the butterflies were on a piece of fabric I had, and I got the morning glories and the narcissus (spelling of the plural??) from a co-worker, who also does patchwork. Re. books I started years ago with German books on how to sew and how to do patchwork, so I cannot really give a recommendation for you. The others will known and tell you, however, certainly!

Hi Roberta! No, it won't work for the bed, because it is not quite long
enough, and too squarish. But it will be good for a cuddle-quilt on the sofa once the colder season will return (which I will absolutely not think about right now! :-) ). And thanks a lot to everybody here for their kind words and compliments!!! Katinka in Germany. |

Butterfly Quilt finished!
Hi Katinka:
I picked up one of the books suggested by Patti and Sharon this morning (Quilter's Complete Guide). It appears to be a very helpful book - one which is loaded with ideas. I joined a little Knit and Crochet group at a Senior Center a few months back, and took the book with me @ today's meeting. Several women were looking over my shoulder as I was going through it. I really loved the part about the applique quilting. I'm thinking of starting a small project first - just to get my feet wet. . .Perhaps a little jacket with applique on it. I want to satisfy myself that I can do this. Is there a website you guys can recommend that has downloadable applique patterns or designs? It seems like such a wonderful and relaxing passtime.

Also take a look at quilterscache.com, or specifically, http://quilterscache.com/S_U/SimpleAppliqueShapes.html http://quilterscache.com/AlphabetizedListPageA_F.html (the red pins mean applique) Enjoy!
