Show and tell… Aunt Millie’s Garden

Carmen Nordback’s Aunt Millie’s Garden quiltI was in the Minnesota Quilters Show this past week where it received first place in the Appliqué Small category. Of course it won first place! I love the whole quilt and especially the border background treatment.

Carmen says “I reduced the size of the bocks from 14” to 10” so it was smaller than the original pattern. It was so much fun to make! Thanks again for all you do to create such fabulous designs.”

Thank you, Carmen, for sharing your beautiful quilt with us! It is a joy to behold :-).

Wednesday Giveaway!

Lynnette Kleinau will receive a 15.5″ X 41″ piece of Bamboo Felt. I use this bamboo/rayon blend felt in my applique caddies. What is an applique caddy? It’s a folder used to carry or store your applique blocks once you take them off the design wall. I’ve used them for years and they are efficient, portable, and easy to carry with you. Your applique pieces stay flat and pristine until you are ready to stitch them to the block. You can find a video with instructions on how to make and use an applique caddy with bamboo felt here. The video below shows how it works.
