French Roses~Applique quilt

First of all you have just GOT to see my

morning glories! Finally! I've waited most of the

summer to see all these blooms....and uh finally

in November? Here they are! Yipee! I have a question

though, if you know....once it freezes or snows are you

supposed to cut down the vines? Or do they die back?

Next I am finishing

up a raw edge applique

quilt. YOu don't fold

anything under...you

just stitch close to the

raw edge. Believe me

it was one of the easiest

projects I have ever

sewn. I love quilts...

and dream of

making different ones

and buying fabric

but at the moment I

am trying to use up fabric

I have bought over

the last 30 years!

You sew a large

round flower

shape, then a

medium one, then

smaller until it looks

like a layered flower..

with petals I guess.

The original pattern

is called "French

Roses" and is made

with shabby chic

fabric....gorgeous!

Then you wash it

once you are done

and it makes the

edges look worn,

tattered and shabby!

I will post a pic

of that as soon as

I'm done with the

machine quilting!

Blessings,

Debbie
