Green.

Applique for now is all about green leaves.
Many shapes and sizes. This year will be works in progress, also the RSC24 will be Finding the Way and Ancient Stars. Both got starts last year and this year each month a bit will get done on them.
Stitching has been started on the Pumkin House series.
Last year for my birthday I received a fat quarter bundle. This will be used to make a mystery quilt, one block a week. Another start will be made on Bonnie Hunters mystery quilt. A collection of scrappy fabrics has been left in a pile on the sewing table. How long has it been waiting in that spot? Since February 2023. When I got those fabrics, they came from one quilter, so to honour her they will be used together in one quilt. Today the final clue and reveal of Indigo Way was released, a few colours will be swapped out. The scraps contain no red, it has a very special dark fabric which will work for the pattern. With cold weather here, it will get ironed and then the cutting will start. Sewing will start of the blocks in the coming days.

  3. I don't have a lot of green in my stash. Applique seems like a good idea on a snowy day.
