I am mapping out all of my fall projects. It is really hard to stay on task with so many fantastic options out in the world and in my brain. Then this pattern came! I really love working with wool for applique. If you have never tried it, you must! The edges do not need to be turned under and the colors are unmatched in their richness. This Floye’s garden quilt features both an embroidered option and a wool on fabric version. I am in love! I may just have to make room on the docket for some wool applique.

Sneak Peak: Girls or Boys
I told you Jeanette’s sneak peak would be way better! This is the girl’s version called Betsy’s Closet.
Below is the boys version, Benji’s Pockets. They will both be up in the shop soon! She used her machine applique method that we teach at the shop for both quilts.
Sneak Peak: Remember Whooo Loves You
We are on a display marathon right now. Both Jeanette and I are trying to get a ton of wonderful new projects done just in time for the Shop Hop in June. I feel like I have been sewing none stop this entire weekend. One of the projects I am currently stitching is Remember Whooo Loves You, from Acorn Quilts. I have been slightly obsessed with this ever since it showed up at the shop. I am diggin into some old scraps and really liking the result. I would rather mix and match then use an entire fabric collection. I found the stripe shown above and really liked the colors together, so I tried to pick fabrics that mimicked it. What do you think? Well back to the machine. Busy, Busy!! Just wait until the sneak peak tommorow of Jeanette’s quilt!
