So I am working in somewhat of a new style. The whole background with trees and houses are pieced in Hoochy style and then I appliqué soft edged needle turn appliqué figures. For those of you who do not know, I never ever fuse my pieces nor do I do raw edge. Needle yurn appliqué is my style and passion.
The quilt above was started by my neighbor Connie who sews with me and without me in my home when I am gone.
She had done the house and any stars and we put them together. Alone one night I decided to do myself in front of the house waving goodbye up the life I knew before my husband died last May. I will be adding my three kids and six Birds for my Grandkids. There is room for me to embroider the little story.
This is what I love about story quilts- they surprise us!
It will be awhile until it's done. 😊
Last week I had a marvelous time in Paulsbo wa. We made hoochy birds and it was fun! No
Two were alike!
The girl from my garden could make perfect quilt additions. Clearly put of the box!
