thatched
roof house...! Looks cosy ...Mary

Here's where buying fabric indiscriminately is real handy.... I
didn't think I'd ever make a quilt with a wheat field... who knew? ;-)

(Go away, beggers. This block is going to a dear friend. Those in the
know will know by the *color* of the window frames! vbg)

Ah, Pat, it isn't anything I can take too much credit for! The angel
is an adaptation of a pattern in a stained glass book and the cottage
is re-worked from a Piece-Makers block pattern I bought before I knew
of their nasty political beliefs. I can take full credit for the calla
lilies, tho! :-)

Thank you for the very nice compliments..... your opinion means a lot
to me!

Hugs,

Leslie

Leslie, that is just beautiful. Whether I have just not 'seen' this

developing - from the previous pieced work - then all I can say is
'onwards and upwards'. These artistic creations are wonderful: the
little flower/nature quilts are gorgeous; and the angel block is
stunning.
Maybe I'll make my village quilt appliquéd with the satin stitch like
this block? An idea I had not even considered. (Mind you, that is
going to have to wait until next autumn - boo hoo).

because he has a handsome face and well-chosen eloquence.

Thanks, Gen. It was fun to make.... and as Polly says it's hard to
know when to stop!

Anita-

I'm glad I could get across the idea I was going for! I'm *not*
artistic, so I try to find various "tools" that help me along.
Stretching and reaching for little aids like finding the perfect fabric
for whatever look I'm after helps me a lot. I hope it will help you,
too.

Thanks for your kind words. :-) And my MasterCard sends it's sympathy
to yours! LOL

What a neat idea. Thanks for sharing.

You're now making me see some of those remnant pieces in a completely
different way...Hear that whimper? It's my credit card running off and
hiding.

I have the calender with the cottage block patterns - it was given as a gift
back in the early 90s and I have - at one time or another - made all 12
blocks.

Jessamy-

Sorry you are being frustrated by machine applique'. I don't have much
choice with my hands not working too well now-a-days, but I loved hand
applique when I was able do it. I always wanted to make a Balitmore
Album Quilt- I still may try it by machine---- someday. I find the
satin stitching to be soothing, but being at the machine for long is
rough on my back. Do you have a really good stabilizer? That can make
a world of difference in how easily the applique goes and how well it
appears. I'd be glad to send you a hunk of the Easy Stitch Stabilizer
that I use. It's just wonderful!

Thanks for the compliments!

Leslie

Thanks for your kind words... I'll gladly email the pattern to you and
you can make it in your choice of colors and fabrics. :-) I hope the
intended recipient likes it as well as you!

Mary-

Me, too! I love the thought of living in a forest in a little cottage
with a thatched roof and flowers everywhere! Like Hansel and Gretel
without the witch! LOL Thanks for the compliment- it sure was fun
designing it, chosing the fabrics and seeing it all come together.
