This is Debbie's work! She does the most incredible appliqué!! LeAnn is helping her hold it up for my picture!
And I took a photo of a row from a project she's doing based on a Lori Smith design:
Here's Peggy's finished top from the swap we did last year:
Micki has been working on this adorable top. I love the truck!!
This is another top that Terri made using a layer cake. Love it!!
My friend Bonnie made this pin cushion for Debbie and I just loved it. It might've come home with me except that I know Debbie would've missed it. So does anyone have the pattern?? Bonnie said she made it from a book but she couldn't remember which one. I'd really appreciate knowing which book it came from. You let me know and I'll send you a PRIZE!!!vbg
I am heading back home today. Happy to see my dh who puts up with my frequent jaunts to Wisconsin!! Check out this sunset over Lake Delavan, where we usually go for fish fry on Friday night
Oh and a trip to Wisconsin wouldn't be complete without a picture of the typical scenery!! I love it!!
I absolutely love living in Northern Michigan but there are times I really miss the "flatlands" of Wisconsin ... it's such a beautiful state! Looks like a VERY productive weekend and visit with friends ... travel safe and thanks for the "eye candy" ;-) Linda
ReplyDeleteWhat absolutely lovely quilts--that applique is amazing!! hugs, julierose
ReplyDeleteSo much to love here--wonderful quilts, an interesting bird, and beautiful scenery.
ReplyDeleteWelcome home. : )
Wow--so many wonderful and inspiring projects! I plan to do the Austin Bluebird Sampler some day and have the Tree Farm pattern on order. I know I've seen that bird around somewhere--Primitive Quilts, maybe? If I spot it, I'll let you know!
ReplyDeleteWow, that is a busy group. Glad you had fun. The quilts are lovely. I don't know about the pin cushion but I suspect it is a Jan Patek or Primitive Quilts and Projects design. If you ask Cyndi at the Busy Thimble blog, she will most likely know.
ReplyDeleteI believe the bird pattern is one featured in Summer Spirits Threads by Need'l Love. These books usually have a variety of pincushions, quilts and wooly items. I believe your friend added the strawberry from another one of the books. These books are put out by Rene Nanneman of Need'l Love Company.
ReplyDeleteShe is a super sweet lady and I have ordered from her in the past. She also has a website. Amazon may also carry the book. Let me know if you can't locate a copy and I will work something out.
