the trees
quiltingwolf Advanced MD USA Member since 12/15/02 Posts: 5212	Login to reply to this post Like this post Date: 2/3/13 7:57 AM I on to sewing the leaves on the first block. This wall hanging got reduced to 4 blocks.The leaves are fun but the trees are rather hard to cut out. My first tree I tried photobucket by my computer doesn't like it. After this I will be an sewing around a leave applique expert. It's fun though like it more then I thought. Wish the pics were better my phone doesn't do so well. Also took it with the tree sideways. -- Edited on 2/3/13 8:00 AM -- -- Edited on 2/4/13 10:44 AM -- ------ quiltingwolf.blogspot.com

I see why you are only doing 4 blocks. however, you might find it easier as you do the others. ------ Elna Excellence 740, Pfaff Quilt expression 4.0, Janome 300E, Brother 8500D, Janome 900CPX CoverPro, Brother 5234 Project Runway Serger, Singer Treadle http://juliannasjourney.blogspot.com/

Thumb where my bone spur is is sore but I'll live with it. the applique stitching was more difficult until I realize I could turn the fabric at every stitch if I want. Going to put my knee lift back on machine before I do any others. I'm just using embroidery thread t outline them so I can match the leaf color. Also not sure if I should stitch down trees as they are kinda of tacked down when I do the leaves. Next trees is going to have all civil war reproduction fabric for leaves. Not sure after that. Might see if I can get some charm paks from Joanns I've a ton of coupons. -- Edited on 2/3/13 8:57 AM -- ------ quiltingwolf.blogspot.com

You make me want to try appliqué, but I've got far too much on my plate right now. My first will likely be a Dresden Plate. Good for you for tackling this!
