Well, I made a quilt for myself, several years ago. I used the Bible Verses from "Virtuous WOman, Proverbs 31:10-31. I got a William Morris transfer design book from a book store (can't remember) and did 15 blocks, embroidered. I love it, but I swore I would never do another Wiliam Morris again. The grapevines were unbelievable.

Yours is gorgeous. Now I have to double think "Should I or shouldn't I?" Where did you get the patterns from? Edie

Hi Eddie, I'm taking a hand applique class now. I probably nuts but I just got the WM in Applique book in the mail this week. I hope I'm not over my head but I'm going to give it a try. I love hand applique. I'm taking a class with Mimi Dietrich. She's a wonderful instructor....Learning so much.
What technique are you using?
