It's been a little while since I've blogged. The silly season put blogging and sewing fairly firmly on the back-burner. But 2012 has started with a bang and I've been sewing up a (relative) storm. Current big project is a hand appliqué medallion from Sarah Fielke's beautiful book. A fabulous book that every aspiring quilter must have!
I started this one when we were away over Christmas and have been making steady progress. LOVE hand-applique. Once all the leaves are sewn on there are a number of borders to be added, and then the whole she-bang gets a rather intense hand-quilting treatment. So I'm expecting this one will take a while. But I'm not in a hurry, and enjoying the journey....
Linking up to Lee's Work-in-Progress Wednesday for the first time in an eternity.
