Since I have still been avoiding computer work, I decided to work on something easy, and pull these #reverseapplique blocks back out that I had started for a class that I taught recently. There are so many possibilites when you combine this technique with pieced blocks! What are you avoiding today? #quiltblock #eq8 #electronicquilt #starchapplique #appliquelove #modernapplique #annamariahorner #annamariahornerfabric #basicgreygrunge #paperpiecing #paperpieced 
80-pieces, Y-seams, and curve-piecing all-in-one might explain why these #cottagecloverquilt blocks don't exactly go very quickly, but it sure helps that I already have everything cut. I usually pull them out when I don't have any major deadlines on my list, and these had been saved for our sewing retreat that was recently cancelled. Somehow, I'm just not motivated for computer work these days... #victoriafindlaywolfe #curvedpiecing #yseams #quiltblock #annamariahornerfabrics #basicgreygrunge #grungefabricforever #lowvolumefabric #werbung #quiltblock 
So what do you do with all those leftover cutout circles from reverse applique?... simply use them in your next applique project! This was the second part of my two-birds-with-one-stone project, and ended up as a sweet pillow for a sweet niece of mine who just had a birthday. The original Circle Around pillows were bright and saturated, while these two are a fun contrast of subtle and bold. #campbellsoupdiary #starchapplique #appliquelove #modernapplique #basicgreygrunge #grungefabricforever #showmethemoda #showmethemodagrunge #aurifilthread #aurifil #aurifulmonofilament #quiltedpillow #quilting #walkingfootquilting #straightlinequilting 
Well, it would appear that there are a good number of you out there that had your quilting weekends cancelled like mine. In spite of it, I am glad that there are so many online opportunities that make virtual meet-ups possible. Even though ladies at the Modern Cologne Quilters @moderncolognequilter had thier quilting weekend cancelled too, they decided to organize an Insta show and tell for this weekend - starting the 13th through Sunday! You guys, there are so many amazing quilters in Germany, and it would be well worth your while to check out the hashtag with me #quiltausstellung_mcq Since the majority of what I usually share here are quilt samples that I am making for my patterns or classes, I thought it might be fun to share the quilts that I actually use in my home. This first one goes back a ways, and first found a spot in our living room, until my husband starting "stealing" it for his afternoon naps... it eventually landed on his side of the bed. This is mostly because it is actually long enough to fully cover him. In any case, this was quite an ambitious 2nd/3rd quilt make (depending on how you calculate), but definitely one of my favorites! #campbellsoupdiary #carolynfriedlander #slowstitching #facingeastquilt #appliquelove #modernapplique #basicgreygrunge #grungefabricforever #lowvolumefabric #paperpiecing #quilting #patchwork #quiltsofinstagram #nähenmachtglücklich
