WOW: Celebration Flowers

 WOW = WIPs On Wednesdays 

Today I'm back in my studio, working on this month's design for HOYH. I had a vision of myself turning these flowers in the usual way, but when I saw this fabric I knew fussy cutting would be perfect for my bright version. It's such a pretty scene and I'm excited to be preparing the glorious borders next.. it's all going to snowball from here..

OK, back to work!

WOW: Stuck on Applique

WOW = WIPs On Wednesdays

My applique production line has come to a grinding halt today! I'm all out of glue! I sometimes wonder how my love for applique turned into a fussiness for glue.. I'm always seeking out my favorite glues because no matter how many I buy, it's never enough. And although I know - intellectually- that I should buy more, I worry about the glue drying out.. so I'm in a constant glue shopping cycle.

I get asked all the time what my favourite glue is, and I have three: Roxanne Basting Glue (although lately it's stickier than usual, has anyone else noticed this?), Elmer's Disappearing purple in the small tubes and Sewline Glue in the blue version. It also comes in a pink and they're both good, I just seem to prefer the blue.

My usual stockist has been out of stock for 2 weeks, so I did try to be organized and stop this happening, but it happened anyway. So today, I'll be looking for new places to do my supply shopping and tidying up my sewing room which is currently out of control.

WOW: Where It All Began

 WOW = WIPs On Wednesdays 

This past week I've been celebrating 10,000 online quilt group members by putting my most popular patterns on sale for 50% off. Today, I come full circle with my first ever quilt pattern and first ever BOM and the reason why I ever started blogging in the first place: Red Delicious. 

This sweet quilt started a lot for me. For one thing, I had to get computer savvy (something that held zero interest for me) and learn to 'blog'. This also meant I had to learn to take pictures, download them, shrink them and upload them to google. Sounds simple I know, but it was quite the learning curve for me! Next I had to learn how to release patterns via PDF - another totally new skill set and my first ever pattern.

Who knew a simple cherry basket could start so much?

WOW: Fiddling for Fabric

  WOW = WIPs On Wednesdays  

Today I'm hunting down this green fabric - isn't it a beauty? It didn't do much for me when it was on the bolt, but once shaped, I love the graduation running through the pattern. It's called Midnight Garden by Jinny Beyer and it's from back in 2017. It also came in a lighter green and I'd love to snap some of that up too.

I've reached that stage of applique where I'm looking over my quilt top and picking out fabrics and swapping them for others. I like these leaves on my bright HOYH quilt and have decided that I need to replace the leaves in my first block (below) with this same green fabric. I think I might also want to use it in the tumbling rose borders if I can get enough.

As you can see in this pic below, the leaves behind the bird aren't visible enough, it definitely needs some of this darker print. Fingers crossed I will find what I'm looking for today so that I can make a start on that gorgeous rose border!
