"Colorful Spring"

These are the appliques I had restitched.

strawberries,


a pot of flowers,


hill,


butterfly and bee ...


This is the front of the mini quilt I've sent to my secret swap partner in Europe.
I had peep once of her blog and knew she's really an expert in doing applique. This is my first trying in applique. I hope she likes it :)



















I brought a colorful strip and stitched simple kind of label at the back.

Really enjoy this 'Spring Blooms Mini Quilt Swap' that sponsored by the Quilting Gallery

First Applique and Stitching

This is my first trial project in applique and stitching. I made these blocks for a Spring Blossom Mini Quilt Swap.
After 2 days of making these blocks I've just realize this morning that I've made a mistake, a big error I think.
For the applique I think I did quite ok, but not with the stitching. See..those 2 different threads in the photo? I supposed to used (yellow) special stitching thread, not the other (green) machine sewing thread.. :(
Well, learn from the mistake right from the start!
I'll restitch again today..., no problem :)
