Pieces of the past and future applique work.
The above two are designed originally by Jeanna Kimball and the bottom two are by me.
It is so warm these days, all I can think is applique.
The boys are leaving in couple of days..Once again the house will be empty. These past few weeks my days have been full of laughter and craziness. After well anticipated summer fun of board games and video games, road trips to visit aunts and cousins, watching hours of soccer world cup and making sure all that was on the list of home cooked food was checked, it is time to say good byes.
I will miss them.
But, I am already thinking of all the projects that were put aside and the new ones that popped up in my head during their time here!
The new norm of getting used to the heart felt welcomes and goodbyes is not so bad after all!
Have a great weekend!
Your applique is gorgeous, I love the two by you and think you have such a talent!
ReplyDeleteLove your applique, and I love your perspective on an empty nest!
ReplyDeleteYour applique blocks are beautiful! I love the way you placed your bird to take advantage of the fabric's shading. :)
ReplyDeleteThe blocks designed by you are especially nice. You have a wonderful talent.
All of the excitement of having the "kids" home is wonderful..but it's always nice to slip back into your usual routine too. ;)
oh I just love your blocks, great designs and great use of the plaid fabrics, really adds to the blocks.
ReplyDeleteare you working on designing a full size applique quilt?
