How about a cheery project to work on while you are waiting for Spring?  The model for this one came right from my own yard and they were smelling mighty sweet while I was drawing!  If you go to Simple Flowers you will find this one and a few other Spring flowers at a friendly price.

For free hand applique' pattern tips see link near bottom of this page. I recently added a second page with some details for actually doing the applique stitch.

And Tammy did her magic with dye so I could make them look as real as possible.  These were drawn from photos of my tree - which, I'm sad to say, did not make it thru the drought!  So - here it is "forever" ^_^  You will find it in "Favorite Flowers"

I could almost call this a miracle.  For those who have been in one of my classes, it is the answer to your requests.  It is the class in written form and as a kind of 'workbook'. The pattern is included - the same one I use in classes. It is not glitzy or fancy.  It is self-published and bound so that you can lay it flat if you want to look at pictures and/or read while you are stitching.  If you have not taken the class, I say it is a great tool for anyone - either to learn how, or to improve, with regard to hand, needle turn applique.  If you find the tips and blog useful, why not just go for (as Dr. Dyer would say) "The Whole Enchilada" and buy the book?!  It's all in there - plus way more!

 If you are wanting to take a class:

 High Sierra Quilters  - that's the place to come for a class from me!! Right here in Placerville!  And they have just moved to a lovely and spacious new location!  But, don't fret!  It's just a little ways from where they were before! Still on the East side of town, (heading East) on Hwy 50, you have 2 choices. You can get off at the Broadway Exit and turn left at the end of the ramp. I find it often a bit tricky to turn left there traffic-wise.  So you could still get off at Schnell School Rd., turn right at end of ramp and then right at the 3-way stop just a few yards away. It will then be on your right a short ways back up Broadway - across from Savemart.  Sooo, if you have been wanting to take a class from me - we can now do that even if it's only you.   Give them a call! 530-622-9990  to request class schedule or an applique class for yourself!  Cost is $35;  pattern included; optional kit for $5    You can pick a day just for you. ^_^ And - there is now a class scheduled! April 17, the usual 10-4.  However - we are now offering the option of making it a 2-day class.  It will be $50 and we will address any problems and do more on the sample (like those tiny pieces!).  I will also offer the things I used to do in the "Advanced Class".  Just a few more tips, don't be scared! ^_^ You don't have to sign up for both if you're not sure.  You can always choose after Day 1.
