Okey dokey. Got the embroidery done on a couple (so if they look familiar, you'll know why)

Still have 4 more to go. Roses (this is going to be the War of the Roses this weekend :D )

Now for the dumb question (I know there are no dumb questions, just dumb answers) who or what is EB - you said the patterns were from there?
I may want to try this pattern. I love doing hand applique, cause it's a great travel project.

EB is Eleanor Burns.

I love how the 1/2" cross hatch looks!!! I did that to a trapunto table runner I made a few years ago and just loved how it looked!! I would do that technique in a heartbeat if I get the chance again. I am thinking of starting a Trapunto quilt in the new year with a friend of mine that sews with me on Thursday nights. We both want to make full size Trapunto quilts for our beds. I might do that 1/2" cross hatch on that too..

BTW, your applique blocks are GORGEOUS!!!!!!!!!!!!! I love doing applique and I can certainly appreciate the work gone into those beautiful blocks. It looks like there is alot of embellishing and 3D work put into them!! I can't WAIT to see how it will look when its all finished and quilted. I really hope to post photos!
