 Red White STARS

 Hand Applique - Embroidered Hearts

 Quilt Blocks
 
 
Apprx. 10 x 9.50 inches, each.
 
 
 
It was another soothing task to hand - applique the hearts to the scrolls background.  

 
Each heart is positioned approximately the same.

 
Notice the hand - top-stitching as well.

 
I hand - embroidered, hearts within hearts.

 
The backs are fairly neat in appearance.

PASTEL Summer Spring Hearts Daffodil

Log Cabin Quilt Blocks

 
 
Apprx.  11  x  11 inches each.

 
I've created many log cabin blocks over the years.

 
Squaring blocks during and after the sewing process is the best way to result in nearly equal sized blocks.



 
Loving the repro fabrics on this one.

 Road To Oklahoma

  Turkey Red Navy Blue  - Tonal Floral - Quilt Blocks

 
 
HUGE 12 x 12

 
This is another FIRST.

 
I created the four-patch in the center, first; and then added the remaining linear sewn blocks.

 
For subsequent blocks, I have learned that it is easier to create TWO (4-patch) units, first

Hand EmbroideryEmbroidered

 FANTASY Floral  - UNIQUE Quilt Block
 
 
Apprx.  9.50 x 9.75

 
 I hand - embroidered this beautiful little gem, myself. 

 
This is my own unique design. I used my imagination and free-hand drew the flowers and the leaves, and then did the embroidery with good quality DMC embroidery floss.
