It can also be found at amazon.com.

When I first asked our LQS for a book recommendation to learn applique this is the book they suggested. It is a great book and I have learned a lot.
Have fun!

I entered it in the county fair and it won a blue ribbon. In it, I could see the progress and improvement between my first couple of blocks and the last one. I learned a lot. Please persevere.

Beautiful quilt! Most exquisite!
I absolutely love applique quilts. I have saved several projects and patterns off the internet. I'm sure I'll go back and try applique again sometime in the future.
Thanks for sharing and commiserating! Appreciate it!

Thank you one and all! I will persevere and get this top finished one way or another.

I was looking at this web site last night. I love the way she's quilted her projects. Hmm. I'm wondering and thinking...

She has posted a BOM during 2010 and I believe she is starting a new one this month for 2011. Something more to save.

Have you all looked at Bunnyhill's newest BOM? I'm thinking I might do that but with embroidery instead of applique.

To much fun to be had out there! Happy stitching everyone! Thanks again for all the encouragement! It is appreciated!

It's wonderful and love your bright cheerful colors. I am learning needle turn (slow process) with same quilt pattern so yours is most inspiring. You should be proud of this beautiful quilt.

It's beautiful. Sometimes after spending a long time with a project you need a little break. Maybe put it away for a month or so, mark a date on the calendar to take it back out to quilt.
