For some time I have been wanting to do some hand applique, but just haven't gotten to it. I had printed out Anita Shackelford's Pennsylvania Plain and Fancy pattern several years ago, and finally decided to just buckle down and do it. I decided to go a different route on color and chose cream, red and black. And to top it off, all the fabric is from my stash!! Yeah! I definitely need practice, and plan to work on my skills, but I am pretty pleased with it. It doesn't have a label yet, but I'll get to it, really, I will. Why do I dislike doing labels so much? Oh, one other thing I did differently is the piano keys border. Her border was different.

Great job! I really like the colors and fabrics you used and your applique and quilting both look wonderful! Did you enjoy it?
ReplyDeleteThat's striking Donna! You've done a beautiful job on it. That color combination just can't be beat can it?
ReplyDeleteWhat in the world do you mean, you need practice? This came of beautifully, Donna!

ReplyDeleteI think you did a beautiful job here and I really like your color choice which I find funny because normally it's my least favorite.
ReplyDeleteI'm slowly catching up on blog reading.
