Linda Anderson sent me this photo of her very first hand appliqué project. Isn’t it great! I Love the way the gray backgrounds and sashing set off the colors of the leaves. Linda, well done!
FYI: this is Blowin’ in the Wind from our book, the Best-Ever Applique Sampler. Click here to find the book.
Linda started her quilt in a class I taught two years ago at Crazy Quilters, Emmaus PA.

Absolutely beautiful. I would love to take a class from you. I’m somewhat handicapped so that maybe just a wish. Trying to set up a DVD player in my sewing space so I can watch instructions on a DVD. I live in Tulsa where u started your career.

Really like this interpretation of your pattern, Becky. Isn’t it fulfilling to see what your students accomplish with your inspiration? And compliments to Linda on her interpretation of the design and most importantly, getting it finished!
