1st Time at Machine Applique

I took this tea towell class at the Ivy Thimble to learn how to do machine applique. A couple of the quilts I am starting to work on involve a lot of applique, and I'd never done any of it. So, I figured I should learn.
These tea towells are cute...but if any body ever wipes anything on this, they are gonna be in BIG trouble.

Most Recent Quilting Project

I just dropped this quilt off at The Ivy Thimble Long Arm quilting shop to have machine quilted. I took the Beginner Graduate class with Cindy at the Thimble and enjoyed making this quilt. It was pretty easy to put together because you just sewed the same thing over and over again...just different fabric in different places.


The most complicated part (after chosing the fabric...) was cutting the fabric--trapezoids and parallelograms.
Super complicated. It took me over three hours to get all of the fabric cut!
