<br /></div>
<span style="font-family: "georgia" , "times new roman" , serif;">Sometimes a quilt comes along and demands all your attention. The Love Entwined 1790 Marriage Coverlet is one of those quilts. As soon as I'd released it, there was a demand for a simplified version of the quilt. But how could I simplify such an epic quilt? </span><span style="font-family: "georgia" , "times new roman" , serif;">Each block is so meaningful and each motif so evocative in its own right. </span><br />
<div>
<span style="font-family: "georgia" , "times new roman" , serif;"><br />
</span></div>
<div>
<span style="font-family: "georgia" , "times new roman" , serif;">Eventually I decided to make a version of Love Entwined that was essentially the same quilt, using the exact same designs. I made it bigger and focused on the immediate eye catching centre—I always thought the centre alone could be a beautiful wall hanging and with some enlarging, it became super versatile. You can make the centre and first border as a wall hanging feature quilt, or make this quilt bed sized. LE2 offers the best of both worlds: the heirloom beauty of the original in an accessible size.</span><br />
<span style="font-family: "georgia" , "times new roman" , serif;"><br /></span>
<span style="font-family: "georgia" , "times new roman" , serif;">This Love Entwined 2 (LE2) pattern is an adaption of my original ‘Love Entwined’ quilt pattern. This LE2 design is an enlarged version of ‘Love Entwined’, consisting of the centre panel and first border only. This is the perfect project for anyone wanting to create this stunning heirloom without the advanced level intricacy and intensity of the original. This is beautiful wall hanging with the same history, motifs and elements as the original.</span><br />

<b style="background-color: white; color: #222222; font-family: Georgia, Utopia, "Palatino Linotype", Palatino, serif; font-size: 17px;">Shelly</b><span style="background-color: white; color: #222222; font-family: "georgia" , "utopia" , "palatino linotype" , "palatino" , serif; font-size: 17px;"> is a clamshell quilt pattern perfect for stash busting your favourite fabric scraps. Isn't she gorgeous? I love clamshells - they're so easy to pick up and put down whenener the time or mood suits. Shelly is a clamshell quilt with a twist: the central block consists of four clamshell stacks that meet in the centre with a foliage motif. Between the stacks, you have the option of slotting in some contrast fabrics to create a visible central crossing element and the border repeats the clamshell appeal with more foliage motifs to tie it all together.</span><br />

<span style="background-color: white; color: #222222; font-family: "georgia" , "utopia" , "palatino linotype" , "palatino" , serif; font-size: 17px;">I've been shelling away making stacks from my monochromatic stash. I'm still going and have about 50 more to make now. I can't get wait to get this top together. Of course, you know me and yes, I considered lots of different colourways for my clamshell quilt. Red and white was a really strong contender, as was a muted stash of civil war tones. But in the end, I had this really stunning assortment of black and white and grays that just needed to come together. I played around with the idea or a black / white & red theme, but somehow went with a newspaper print instead.</span><br />

I must have a short memory. The last time I worked with linen I had to work extra carefully to stop stretching and warping of the fabric fibres.. and totally forgot about all the hassle. Well, now I'm repeating myself! I love my Hope background in this rough linen but am having to work with extra diligence to make sure my seams and fibres stay nice and straight. I do this with spray starch and double checking every single piece before <i>and</i> after I sew it in. Phew.<br />
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">

With the strips sewn in and correct (yes, even I have to double check everything against the pattern sheet), it's time to create the beautiful vines.<br />

<img border="0" data-original-height="427" data-original-width="640" height="426" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEheMIgGZ9O9Vi5VjJ7Fq6tpWzfVyeMxd-6OQG1opF_X0GdK9e7ylt3B5Gn_jFvdAJ9TMqUKWEkJ0XFgZ6xagBAaSdpCKfQHzA83X-iYPeQ7ZMWUV8Q4qoCTpWzi_OEM8BzIICSuXOOF7Xya/s640/DSC00432.JPG" width="640" /></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
This is my favourite way to make vines and stems for applique foliage and flowers.</div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: left;">
When considering a pattern, I think about whether an embroidery stitch, tracing from pattern or bias stem would work best.</div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: left;">
<br /></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: left;">
Sometimes, especially when creating traditional or historic style quilts, imperfect stems look best. The size variations might exist to give a pattern a 'hand drawn' or naive look. In those cases, I simply trace the vines or stems from the pattern sheet like every other applique shape and work from there. </div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: left;">
<br /></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: left;">
However, most of the time I turn to my trusty bias tape makers to those lines.</div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<img border="0" data-original-height="427" data-original-width="640" height="426" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEhz2UCVt88unAIVPRIoftb5ente4vshLOrkH6xIYYZctZNLD-UJpIseVt69cspGuXUCRi3BsKex7sqGvlVRXeYvdFVe9tn9o2ZIyXsWaNErgyNxKV1Te0xJXtPZ-c7pIATlHz_fAyFzV1pf/s640/DSC00435.JPG" width="640" /></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
I like to starch my fabrics first, helping to create a neat bias tape.</div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<img border="0" data-original-height="427" data-original-width="640" height="426" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEgPNQIuiiazXgFb5GAqAANprI2OTOjasiWiMADheL5MM35BtzRfMkoQYZV-FZiSRqUcU2Ri5vBVuaUL8YNrl46Ry4pGRgxVmRNEfxTmkO1VDT18xYGYxjpNAzu_aaVv-dbYuUeVxT0T2cpP/s640/DSC00434.JPG" width="640" /></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
This is what my fabric looks like before it enters the tape. <img border="0" data-original-height="427" data-original-width="640" height="426" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEg4oCTKyYEBh0G5qnJLm9Lrkt0UB0VUBLlLTvn7ZpfOAmg-JxkWI0T3HmeNxmENP5Ic6PVoBui7GqwzOXo6Jk99pEm_675Uhud6h8nEo4f6ie3QjVm8KY7x89-B_DrUg7qY6mIJbMbFid8p/s640/DSC00436.JPG" width="640" /></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
Then I simply feed it through.</div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<img border="0" data-original-height="427" data-original-width="640" height="426" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEjpFjsTT5snnM_Qw7ucyDHo6y5fsj-J9uw_AVmq0NblYvqsy06WqLUubWcpUNdVQgd_zfUsaUF4wohpjKS-BS0TiqfT-xjrU8AUm7M1ieyszi1AuAOQoNgDfLyf5-mer-Hbi0n7nHAUbJA-/s640/DSC00441.JPG" width="640" /></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
Sometimes the feed needs some help with a pin to wiggle the first bit out.</div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<img border="0" data-original-height="427" data-original-width="640" height="426" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEiTlBr7PsTjY9R4VfZxD-aKMiuvU4NokUPZOTMkbj60jlMGcwyVGUVDzH61dnSagxYgz4RPmMmnFmP7sPJMsW-S2CtJp5pBRcqek872hQHQdtSmzb2bUWU0z898kT3X8aN2w5qBmZ0-BtTC/s640/DSC00444.JPG" width="640" /></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
As soon as it appears, I start ironing the fabric tape to set it.</div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<img border="0" data-original-height="427" data-original-width="640" height="426" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEhAKPg59h0yWs4v1SYGQWC0nrUFzYwNFEHHHn6_AOcIgL-F8Ckd7C8qjhrC9O5LTZzM1SotVt6hX8VUJ0eTTlHpqIkfxFza0CLF0jMAK-qE9FjN-kpHUD-m2W4IFgLjHSQzppDGU9QQHJ_V/s640/DSC00445.JPG" width="640" /></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
It looks like this. And then I simply repeat. Easy, isn't it?</div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<img border="0" data-original-height="427" data-original-width="640" height="426" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEh5qjA5tdw11AEI38idkZokK3BJQxOFsJu8s_EvfgWyU1B4ddL_YlIYgJPIFYawG5_4KUILTJN_FtUqiz6htjFLT-hqj36ZRqshnprEgbE3DvM6JNADvlQMwQBeOt9WuNCy2cMZuMFinNRo/s640/DSC00429.JPG" width="640" /></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: left;">
If you aren't already creating bias tape for your stems and vines, give it a go. It's a satisfying technique for your applique that allows you to create neat and uniform lines with the least amount of hassle.</div>

<b>'On my Window, Flowers Bloom' </b>says it all. I love this design. I love the flowers and all the fun to be had during fabric selection. Will you go sophisticated with a naturalistic pallette or bright and bold? And what about that sky peeking through? Will it be daytime? Night time? Starry or snowy? I couldn't decide. I kept going back and forth. In the end I played around with two main ideas; the top one is just lovely and I can already see it shining on my wall. The one below is made up from my Fassett stash - because it's about time I started putting that gorgeous stash to proper use in a fabulous wall hanging. </div>

Today I'm making the Blooming Dahlia Block. If you're making Hope month by month, this block is created in Part 8. I'm making my quilt parts 'out of turn', according to my fabric usage - I have a limited amount of Japanese Woven fabrics that I am balancing out between the blocks. </div>

Consider this simple flower shape. When creating applique pieces, there's a huge advantage to using a fusible that doesn't need to be washed away. The fusible is the white you see. The fusible has been cut as per the pattern sheet - that is, it's the true actual size of the applique piece. It's ironed onto the fabric and then the fabric is cut around the fusible shape with a quarter inch seam allowance. It's this allowance that provides us with the lovely edge we want in our pieces. </div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<img border="0" data-original-height="427" data-original-width="640" height="426" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEiagTBWPBJH3JPrhgcieMLJyuhI7ZbgzqZSg1HbY1hKc2QZlS_OW8m-Cp5sZ5Y58ii2DdL84vC9x1yg3lD8IzWek_p5N9XSpZohz1HLiznUdjZxiqupbLJXA5MRFAGMhLq4CHRUHQH_j5CF/s640/DSC01607.jpg" width="640" /></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: left;">
When I talk about fusible, I'm pretty much always referring to <b>Floriani Stitch N Wash Fusible</b>. This is my preferred fusible product. It doesn't need to be removed at any stage and after applique, it doesn't bulk out your applique and the quilt can be washed and handled as usual. I'm not associated with Floriani and I don't even get a discount on their products, I have simply found this to be the best fusible for applique so far. I also have trouble finding it outside of the US, so check with your local quilt store and get your hands on as much as you can afford. It can be really irritating to stall a project whilst hunting it down. There may be other products that work just as well as Stitch N Wash, but my location means that I simply don't get access to the large array available to so many North American quilters. I suggest you experiment with as many fusibles as you can to find one that works for you. </div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<img border="0" data-original-height="480" data-original-width="563" height="544" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEinArY3rO4vldNalbMHBwHFt0o6tUfJgLZKEq2SMha5IWt3uEuE0LaitnlVh8_IVrquogLyd4CXamkGOHsLKMHkkjs1lWBSDStCJYoT5qsEXb_coJcbJG8axYrnjiftRT1R_QShMGTdJoIq/s640/DSC01663.jpg" width="640" /></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: left;">
When you cut your fusible shape out with the seam allowance, respect the shape of the applique motif. You'll notice I cut my seam allowance with gentle curves to follow the fusible.With the shape plus seam allowance cut out of the fabric, dab the sides with glue. This is to hold everything into position until you're ready to sew( by machine or hand) your applique into it's position. I often use Elmer's Glue in Disappearing Purple. I find that it doesn't gum up my machine or cause any stitching problems. It also washes away later. There was some talk a few years ago that this glue was so good because it was essentially a starch.. and then it was discovered that it actually wasn't a starch product at all and some quilters went off it. Personally I don't care that it's not a starch, it works fine for applique and washes out easily. If you're one of those quilters who doesn't wash her applique, don't worry about it because you won't end up with a stiff cardboard applique shape anyhow. </div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<img border="0" data-original-height="443" data-original-width="640" height="442" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEio-McT7is0QeO5lQ883o5jlXFfoW6hg0fIiQct_kwsXXg-ip4vNynI8cczTLZDyRzd3u8IIRchROVN7jGJAKrJCFBy8i-aB7oN3586ncRtUUjrhwhBB6j7gAVlILCIH-CotazpQSesc4b2/s640/DSC01661.jpg" width="640" /></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: left;">
Once you've glued the seam allowance, snip carefully around the fusible shape<b>. Don't snip right up to the fusible white shape or the cut marks will show on the right side</b>. This takes practice and a sharp pair or narrow scissors.</div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<img border="0" data-original-height="480" data-original-width="621" height="494" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEhZMcSmgKxpmy4h-afbpNBXs_Bn1HKw1IKL0j5WfPp7nNTOltlZ1HVi_q9WM2rQHFhEjkZMNJoKLs19jlBGlNCLqvEF1HTWW31PIn9rVqdVt7K__LAegQbYwklDuKibVPIZCbYGrpHqA801/s640/DSC01667.jpg" width="640" /></div>
As you clip each side, turn the edges inwards neatly and press down to keep then down in position. As you approach the tip, you need to make smaller, finer cuts and tuck in the excess fabric to create the neat curved edge. This is more than your hands can accomplish alone. You also need an orange stick. The wood is good because it won't break the fibres of your fabric whilst you're manipulating the fabric. You could also use a thick pin to do this work, but be careful of breaking down those fibres.<br />
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<img border="0" data-original-height="480" data-original-width="544" height="564" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEh51lyumqcr4yXbYWXFkl_zb2ZO6y05CSFKYowV3uN2juKJO-PX2tzvCZ2SF1zZGIijP932LA4P5UvmeRJdqnpEd1Y-HKdOqs2kr6qGBLYzjgur9gLjc8ELuNB1-ThUUg10O2iO9jHXvrZP/s640/DSC01669.jpg" width="640" /></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: left;">
When I reach tip points that are curved, I neatly pleat the seam allowance as tightly as possible all the way around.</div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<img border="0" data-original-height="427" data-original-width="640" height="426" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEigcnl4vU35MFrp5BsR6esMbVzpeMu_nKSW7Pkma1390wUs4wpSJUITQAyhKfZCyXTz2f5chg_awqBXnKDKIS9YxqZnm8j3FNxgwMcl0zzTTtLfZvxXLhuptdgbRXf-lO0bvkWrJYPEO02d/s640/DSC01670.jpg" width="640" /></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: left;">
This means that curved points will always look fuller on the wrong side than other parts of the turn edge. After you've created a few, you'll pick up a technique that works for you. I find that pulling the pleats down towards the fusible as tightly as possible and then holding them down until the glue fastens (about a minute) works for me.</div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<img border="0" data-original-height="428" data-original-width="640" height="428" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEiQVYD1rQd0Jb3ChQcI7yrI18BalNlw9X_juUmfMb4osakc3y9X-aiqqt6u4TbjauCdkJgie0_PXBF7Fl3ZH5wVHDCpJ-LTztDyTqax7mNCPc8EmSTynF22DbMqLeA6Kwgd_1cOTdHqmmjc/s640/DSC01674.jpg" width="640" /></div>
Now to create the top edge of the flower shape. You'll notice that I first snipped the larger area into 3 sections, this will allow me to create 3 x pleat zones, which will give me the neatest result. If I tried to just follow the curve without breaking it down with a snip in the 'dips', the shape would lose it's detail and look overall rounded.<br />
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<img border="0" data-original-height="427" data-original-width="640" height="426" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEg1_beMTzBbL1kyuejiD2SHbWosNyfxakc0oTpWymFuoL0e9j9o7QgJDvqZY2dgT-USgBUqvTvLk8kE6Fw5PxUnT64U8Hr3zKU8WBCNTdaq7cEOhwIqOXz4cKg5hsRwpzlwK4BRimxAI5l1/s640/DSC01678.jpg" width="640" /></div>
After snipping your zones, add your glue. It's best to add glue in stages and not all at once so that you can handle the shape cleanly and can use as little glue as possible. If you add your glue too early and take too long to come around to the area, it will dry out quickly.<br />
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<img border="0" data-original-height="411" data-original-width="640" height="410" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEhFpMVNX2h-kxEWWQMX33cvqGDCZlVg-QT0NJoK7NXRl6UzWYZt4EB_07GHoyACljEknU22TyN-rLBFrhOARg-5gmbkTTwF0Uy7Ok2C9GdnKndcuuIXjcCBoHahww9ecs1qoE8S8r1gFKe8/s640/DSC01680.jpg" width="640" /></div>
Next, pleat and turn each area as neatly as you can, pulling the fabric towards the fusible and holding it down.<br />
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<img border="0" data-original-height="481" data-original-width="569" height="538" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEgE0RhY_roKIP_qaQXUmfjPk2L1THRX90sLtJlNSvB90IWIOi88jzxrDjrjBYG2XgjLsi5dFkBrFnW_shy6E2k03VlG2DdZM_JvxBaFbzoiJAx-_0tY_keHeIZ-fwPrRmlA26PCyZ36OAaC/s640/DSC01686.jpg" width="640" /></div>
Whilst still drying, you might want to try rolling your applique to help flatten it. I often beat my applique edges with a small rubber hammer to get them really flat and reduce bulk built up on tight corners. It really works, give it a go.<br />

This is where I ended up using this shape. It's from a block in my quilt design <b>Secret Garden.</b></div>

I also went on and adding highlighting to this shape for added dimension with a process that is pigment fast and permanent.<br />

In the last few years I've really embraced bows in my applique and I have to tell you, I'm still not over this design motif. I'm definitely in a bow mood, I think they're gorgeous. In Hope, I restrained my bows- they're neat and sweet.. but I can still definitely see a hint of Love Always flourish in them.. what do you think?<br />
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<img border="0" data-original-height="895" data-original-width="849" height="640" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEj_aZqzEgBB9R0oHh8GxBwbI0l4XgFq5TmesmzP5pTag_cvaw1sW_QqvP_xtF9BW2lyZoSM2oJHxKc20tJFXfnGsW1KThBYQVlkA64how4HZLLXJkJ4HcqZG-dK9Sj38_djBG0vQz3L5tmf/s640/1b.png" width="606" /></div>
Here are my flower heads, I'm happy with how the Japanese woven fabrics look on the linen, it's a subtle almost aged look that agrees with me. Originally I had decided on a different colourscheme - much lighter and brighter, but as always, the fabrics changed the mood and I went with what I had.<br />
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">

And I love how they look on the grey background. Originally I had opted for a pale pink background but the grey linen offsets these applique fabrics much better, so I had to adapt.<br />

<div style="text-align: center;">
Here are the step by step images of how I put my flower head applique together:</div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<img border="0" data-original-height="427" data-original-width="640" height="426" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEhjPmoyjS7Yf6dMR4tHhMp1X2FcAqVI-c6FBd79xHUkCl-Svqbfrz92-7c6e1AUw3DSF_6ptBvTzARH6dUfbuyh4RDG8SYIrYr55w7DEZrNSxdTqYYGqPJUruqziBtmUGg0cxOk3p4SOAKg/s640/DSC00369.JPG" width="640" /></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
As usual, I'm using fusible which means I don't need to remove the papers when the shape is complete. </div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<img border="0" data-original-height="427" data-original-width="640" height="426" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEgRWk2hMQl6JLgmZ3zR3kSo92BjbItJC-AM_7v64LQ9ATzzxTnqAn9jouZCD7zugwExX-TrxKbXAWZgtzrkcW8fMEh0nekRYCbwQUqpBaUjxsJ3j5ZugpsmJ-aWGfvCprHP_xNlFocbzqzu/s640/DSC00371.JPG" width="640" /></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
I layer the pieces, using small dots of Roxanne Glue to keep everything in place as I work.</div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">

How cute are these centre block doilies? I just love the background stitching touch too</div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">

<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
After folding in the crease lines, I simply machine stitched the lines in a matching thread. My contrast on this quilt is this deep burgundy which looks too dark in photos - it's really much nicer in real life.</div>

<img border="0" data-original-height="427" data-original-width="640" height="426" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEgck3cxlK1f0Ra0c3fDYFlbHnb2f1f5Gz_H4GTFKvYtHYXc9fQeoTbp1n6qNDS6OvXrr4YNVV109TQdBpv6jl97K1qrMDJnWIhwUxUPA2eS_6mTj0evWr_8J-lX4CCd8mhsqSk2XSQCSdfJ/s640/DSC00321.JPG" width="640" /></div>
As I make a start on the Hope centre block, I'm falling more and more in love with the texture of the linen backgrounds and Japanese woven fabrics for the applique.<br />
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<img border="0" data-original-height="427" data-original-width="640" height="426" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEjfIu1TdO-kk6FakxIMH7-FSHd40U6dtgCUM32PGBx1MSE9S4R0PNwHMjfbSPs9HwDbeuEkmqyTH_tWCTJPNIVU0nKtxYGUGi64DXGG51U_SZy8ZUNfpo0X6DkbQhtf1sXwaJT9m_VCe_sO/s640/DSC00323.JPG" width="640" /></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
As always, there's lots of prep work to get done</div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<img border="0" data-original-height="427" data-original-width="640" height="426" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEg4ywjGbRcDwNzo1jmRItiQxIDartyr9XrskbbgKGmCBR2pQjBrJTOacJc_lNphGcaVmGywyHJdUGNo74rKvJvjBCaNr4aLaYXOgxqDVaSE8K44ZyQHlsc5BjYGycHRcp5qG6P0wmtAucGb/s640/DSC00320.JPG" width="640" /></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
Although my centre star looks dark in photos, in real life it has a lovely weave that off sets the pale pink linen beautifully </div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<img border="0" data-original-height="427" data-original-width="640" height="426" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEgtsq76ApRBjSYh-dsVuptxWB6OdcnCfjV8_of7qo6kbXwmPlXrBHMoDAwCfEw1fhuTCAC1wIi3q-VG796Bg_QZYmxsbZpUdd64xO4ueveG7oZ-856tOicexMVaHZdxDadHNE_t5mfVE6fo/s640/DSC00348.JPG" width="640" /></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
My next step is creating these surrounding doilies</div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<img border="0" data-original-height="427" data-original-width="640" height="426" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEh12kVvdau3GFVcEhquFw1hrdpWqe-yS6djX59QvXZwBkFs-olPldYb1UXx2op15DWPHUtgh3sypfwkl12dqWa8mD7JNcVfyO0tusJFC0kiAXiyFsiw9rlJE5wdS-9qq2WloHAfh0SKxWO_/s640/DSC00351.JPG" width="640" /></div>
I've folded in all the lines and now I'll stitch them down with large stitched to create the background grid look before placing applique over.<br />

<span style="font-family: "georgia" , "times new roman" , serif; font-size: large;">'Hope' is an extra special BOM for 2020. It's a heartfelt quilt with a very special purpose; all monies raised by this BOM will be used to fund my daughter's Stage 4 ovarian cancer treatment. </span><br />
<span style="font-size: large;"><span style="font-family: "georgia" , "times new roman" , serif;"><br />
</span> <span style="font-family: "georgia" , "times new roman" , serif;">We've all experienced the low valley's in life. Many of us have been personally touched by cancer. 'Hope' is a quilt that refuses to give up - it's a design of pleasure and happiness.</span></span><br />
<span style="font-size: large;"><br />
</span> <span style="font-family: "georgia" , "times new roman" , serif; font-size: large;">My BOM last year 'Hold Onto Your Heart' was an applique treasure full of intensity. <b>'Hope' is an easy quilt,</b> designed to appeal to all skill levels, promising lots of beauty in simplicity - like all the best things in life.</span><br />
<span style="font-size: large;"><br />
</span> <span style="font-family: "georgia" , "times new roman" , serif; font-size: large;"><b>Finished size: </b>76 x 76 inches.</span><br />
<span style="font-size: large;"><br />
</span> <span style="font-family: "georgia" , "times new roman" , serif; font-size: large;">Where there's life, there's hope.</span><br />

I am so in love with all the roses in Hold Onto Your Heart.</div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<img border="0" data-original-height="427" data-original-width="640" height="426" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEhTiEmEJy6ZVFolHEvOVslfMsCMuzcyOlmryawObi-MTGnpNz5yh9BuP4HHFCnp70fBF3CGxgyGKv2M3vtgUv5SaWJEJM8yCTWOOQ0rlHkFAvYLcrkhCQWgXahZs6vgCACVcLvH25iOBE68/s640/DSC00239.JPG" width="640" /></div>
Here are some details from my leaves. This quilt is so intense that I decided to add every kind of flourish I could think of - it just feels right to lavish every last detail with lots of love. I don't know if I have another Hold Onto Your Heart in me, so this one has to be perfect down to every last stitch!<br />
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<img border="0" data-original-height="427" data-original-width="640" height="426" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEjPVvOJUI5C0DgVHQ0Cx1S8MW6Hhm7VDwcdt2nGbRFwktks4V2WkhLBTJh8FMRuVT2iHsKodSLDy6rpxCUlU9f0qXKTEuD5lmFoe86Oc7FiiFmMmPOSuV_DQ5XPZRA32ag6DvEJwlvK2EZP/s640/DSC00240.JPG" width="640" /></div>

Of course you don't need to get carried away like me, but sometimes I can't stop myself.</div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">

Now for some really interesting progress: the floral border. I just adore every inch of this border and seeing it come together has been really rewarding.<br />
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<img border="0" data-original-height="427" data-original-width="640" height="426" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEiabUJSZkopiFqQlyxfHBUzXeqK52pMUw5QvthRoAaoSFKCVT9BFbVKhR379GVE3cRaqPJzrIXmHZAlPsIi8tRkfTuZcqHJbbF4RRatJDTfgtTpO1DheWzGKGFRLoL1VuTQ2hWi833F8NYu/s640/DSC00259.JPG" width="640" /></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
I'm working at my own pace, you can't rush a border like this.</div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<img border="0" data-original-height="427" data-original-width="640" height="426" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEjCdJjTTFOUguoppchIZznHJ4nrYGFWPfj-pwNMJw_F6YYidGIEAACxAyOXcPxpSAqZbz_6SEI75be_Ww3Tjf4rSBwoanpprU_U961KU3UArN0nqvtH7HAXPLApdqmyOks6cnCOseN-2-ni/s640/DSC00260.JPG" width="640" /></div>
Something that's really surprised me is how much I love my fabric choices - normally I umm and ahh and change my mind half way through a quilt - but not this time. It all feels so right and the longer I work with it, the more it grows on me.<br />
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">

<div class="" style="clear: both;">
<span style="color: #222222; font-family: "georgia" , "times new roman" , serif; font-size: 17px;">It's a firm Christmas favourite. It's a real pleasure to hang it up in my home on December the 1st each year. When we travel over the festive season, it comes with us - it's our portable family piece of Christmas!</span><br />

It's a charming quilt that grows on you and I was lucky enough to be sent pics of a finished one (mine is still in my WIP pile!) by <b>Gail Smith who's images you see above and below. </b>Isn't it gorgeous?! I'm so glad to have these images to show you so you can see how beautiful it is all for yourself.</div>

I created 'Glad Tidings' to celebrate the festive season - from table, to sofa to bed. Every size is available for you to mix and match, allowing you to bring some lovely quilting touches to your home. Glad Tidings comes in 3 sizes: a bed quilt, a throw or wall quilt and a table runner and you can also opt between a Dresden or Star design feature. Perfectly versatile for the festive season! </div>

And when it comes to a colourscheme, the brighter, the better. This quilt is so much fun to make and is a perfect balance of applique and piecing. Originally released as a Block of the Month program, this design is perfect for beginners as the pattern is broken down into manageable installments.</span><br />

<span style="font-family: "georgia" , "times new roman" , serif;"><b>Meet Cherish, it's a blooming beauty! </b>Here we have a quilt that's just inviting itself to cozy up a bedroom. The centre is an applique arrangement of beautiful flowers, freshly cut from a garden teeming with ladybugs, bees, daisy chains and blooms! </span></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both;">
<span style="font-family: "georgia" , "times new roman" , serif;"><br />
And the colours - oh the colours..where do I even start? This is a pattern you can really trust with those prints you love to pieces but don't want to cut up because they're so pretty. I know you know what I mean!</span></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both;">
<span style="font-family: "georgia" , "times new roman" , serif;"><br />
</span></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both;">
<span style="font-family: "georgia" , "times new roman" , serif;">To make things even better, the shapes are large and easy so that even applique novices can feel confident and the simple hourglass blocks bring all your favorite fabrics together to frame your lovingly made applique blocks. <b>Are you in love yet?</b></span></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both;">
<span style="font-family: "georgia" , "times new roman" , serif;"><br />
</span></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both;">
<span style="font-family: "georgia" , "times new roman" , serif;">Quilts this pretty are simply impossible to forget. You've already seen my idea for a grey chambray background (above) to make your fabrics pop. But what about a creamy light background to play up the charming blocks that just beg for your attention with all their little details? And I can also see this quilt coming into it's own in reproduction fabrics too. Fabrics old or new, this is a beauty that's just waiting for your special touch. </span></div>

Diamond Hill was my Group BOM for 2017 and it was hugely popular. You've probably seen images of blocks being made or completed floating around in my Groups on Facebook, and each is as gorgeous as the next. This is simply a design that lets your fabrics shine. Whether you want to go bold and bright with a dark background as above, or go dreamy and low contrast, all fabric choices I have seen have made perfectly fabulous quilts. </div>

<img border="0" data-original-height="427" data-original-width="640" height="426" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEhn57McLydzQBD_R_Yq7tYcd22sjrjF8MBsg9ipUIdLIsRdUQnUopKxGsDltdrGZw8v24hckfU-gS342dM9uFz3EmVz8Ekg3X5LsBt4oO_-9rOAL7ouYotOtthJUj6QrKfGFYbpC2GWJofO/s640/DSC00218.JPG" width="640" /></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: left;">
Although I am head over heels in love with the floral rose border, I have also designed a beautiful alternative border that really comes into it's own. This alternative rosette border is a perfect balance of applique and piecing. This month in Part 10 we are making the corner rosette blocks. Here's how I made mine:</div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: left;">
<br /></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: left;">
Carefully follow the pattern, making sure your pieces to don't 'grow'. To help keep the size in check, start from the outside first and work inwards.</div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: left;">
<img border="0" data-original-height="427" data-original-width="640" height="425" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEi8CX0Mf8qpIh4R1IR3vHaaQFA3hWoz2XSC-JhubFH7vcpByKoDd0twxGzfzofYPFJvGae0jgosM3lKBWaSGuhNwX6wzMK-6qcBgISdAxRY3QHQqEkpfejGzCd2kaGBl42fUwT-K2uvOW_Y/s640/DSC00219.JPG" width="640" /></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
Position the leaves first, then the red petals</div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<img border="0" data-original-height="427" data-original-width="640" height="426" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEgSJunlVDj2SuDxeBiiQK-Hh0qJNa6dYrN91QDzdaaJRaiaWU-Tm8KuhyphenhyphenUcw2SGEJ6Ph1Mv7cnzbSPj-WzDOr42ES-GQaukxtEHjepKRNO60wysyXqKEdeWBE_ui5TZdp2G1hOMpVUIhA3S/s640/DSC00220.JPG" width="640" /></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
When you have joined the pink petals, cut away the centre to avoid bulk as per the picture below</div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<img border="0" data-original-height="427" data-original-width="640" height="425" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEijzAEmwy-Alie41Evyy2_PeO20Q7xzzLmuxgzhXcSP9jNvQsCM7557aA4OF6CesC8gaZl1F1cXh1HcTLC3VRZFxG8u6KyCIZS9asbQTKOZe8PO73i2suwUH2tLZTrLPJZOPT34JP5cgPpM/s640/DSC00216.JPG" width="640" /></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
Then press open all seams and place into position</div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<img border="0" data-original-height="427" data-original-width="640" height="426" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEjTRxwqxr8lvab7DjyP9pxYbx8B6A-NA9IeFYT94YYA92XPRZVHM4AAKNQX6Q5Sf0812-iRbgDZzIKDhAQtns2tgej7Vh64crrpxyjKR7rRZg1a-NVW1pJfv82cBCqztqQps2cehM5setJn/s640/DSC00217.JPG" width="640" /></div>
Next, position the motif so that you can see the centre of your pattern sheet beneath. From this point of centre, start positioning your diamond pieces.<br />
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<img border="0" data-original-height="427" data-original-width="640" height="426" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEjr8A_qPPf6bL6Bff8bR4U9Ac4TRqqZP2eZZTzdPFN37-DLbdQgWFYQeuE8zY7M_4AhC_iAzbzlr6VPa_xqbR_O-xsy6kuQZDl-sri-C9hsFO1i6dvwIJa4eCwMNXBG0XD5IvjfCzD2f_NU/s640/DSC00221.JPG" width="640" /></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
Stitch all into place and position onto the background fabric</div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">

<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">

<div class="" style="clear: both; text-align: left;">
Today it's time to talk roses: I just adore these florals, they're pure romance.The roses you see here are from my <i>gentle quilt</i>, I haven't made my bright and cheerful version yet. Here are the fabrics I selected for my gentle basket. As you can see, I opted for a repetition of fabrics to anchor the basket and the stripes just spoke to me - I knew they'd be my handles when the time arrived.</div>
<div class="" style="clear: both; text-align: left;">
<img border="0" data-original-height="427" data-original-width="640" height="426" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEieb0xHbXA8FdYqrVBKt1AqvxrrcCny5ulH-qin6A2X2LheAEn4fxgQ70VHnZGcKhzwiR95fnc22lEPS9nJznRW0eO-DWWb3EQDdg0IZf5LeJm9N1YbmtFbuNvr_xgPRw5CItI3OL60UxCE/s640/DSC00238.JPG" width="640" /></div>
<div class="" style="clear: both; text-align: left;">
Given my subtle color scheme, I knew straight away that the roses would have to be charcoal or a soft buttery yellow. After a lot of consideration, I decided that gentle wind blown roses would look the best on this quilt and ended up using Kashmir by Jinny Beyer. It's a gorgeous fabric that really lets these rose heads come into their own. </div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">

<div class="" style="clear: both; text-align: left;">
Of course, these are just images taken during 'production' at all hours of the day and night. I can tell you that the roses look so much more beautiful in real life than they do on screen, they're simply irresistible. </div>

<img border="0" data-original-height="427" data-original-width="640" height="426" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEg0WX0o2naRYQPny_s75h-3jRCSuti1DLsKZvSPVo_JxEE19OZRGp_0ItWMpefRWPcgJasv9DXtn6FT2LvMD7TGCbI1YuTprU3qsMZTHECH-M4b2cFcc5Zv4iaDkghNTwEdsfgzPthyphenhyphencAFZ/s640/DSC00185.JPG" width="640" /></div>

Part 10 is all about the baskets: I just love this stage of the quilt. There's so much room to really play around and enjoy all the elements and motifs. Once your baskets are done, it's time to work on the roses. But for now, let's focus on the baskets. Here's how I made mine. </div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<img border="0" data-original-height="427" data-original-width="640" height="426" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEgAKbV5Ry1ztf50asau6FbpbHsv2-tZ3KEqN2KS4WWbCk7hKAsWc7DcW9V22xRg6a4Q5zz30Xw3nPvmWwyZEfCT1UuERPnB9CjOHE4EPYv-v7BPKehrUctWVufiOvg41UbmmxVW-q6PdIhf/s640/4.80+blog.jpg" width="640" /></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
I had a lot of fun picking out these fabrics, they're BariJ and Tilda - somehow I think they mix together really well. </div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<img border="0" data-original-height="427" data-original-width="640" height="426" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEgfayPeBW0E9H5DUHLpVy5O6187TWDBC8sF7HTJIpuROoUYoD6wdezxmEOqDWZwM78uiM9SI7ePKdSmleJn66M-KhKcphosV5sRrG-muZyI6nULAK7DBJP0yYQtmABQDFLmNhhgohutqmTe/s640/DSC00188.JPG" width="640" /></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
I start my diamond motif in the centre, following the pattern and build it up from there.</div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<img border="0" data-original-height="427" data-original-width="640" height="426" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEgCskjdYlJd7QEpBYmlBQhXj3wkDgd7nOC3kXgRRtK0o_LG7wsVVUq1OpcdeCFiWqXCV9-jt690fI_8p8cXoJTK9Ds-fNJSdYI05lhPdse7xjVJKyoPPZsmwOvG-H216YjbnIX7E60-6z8n/s640/DSC00189.JPG" width="640" /></div>
As you can see, all my pieces are pre-prepped. The edges are turned and ready for me to put them into position - this makes the putting together so much easier and I can focus on keeping my motif to the pattern outline - as always, it's important to make sure nothing 'grows' during construction..<br />

Hold Onto Your Heart is turning into my favourite quilt; the more I work on it, the more I love it. I'm happily making two at the same time and last week I was happy to finish Part 9 on my brightly coloured version - the celebration bouquets. I had planned to then swap back over to my gentle colored quilt, but I find I'm just <i>not in the mood</i>. So although I <i>should</i> be working on the bouquets for my second quilt, I am instead charging ahead with my bright beauty. </div>
<div style="text-align: left;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: left;">
Today I'm making the baskets. I can't help myself, sometimes the quilt dictates the mood and I am in the mood for some bright and cheerful prints. </div>
<div style="text-align: left;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: left;">
Hopefully I'll have time to double back and finish the other so that they're both at the same stage of progress. I don't want either to fall behind in schedule!</div>

This month it's time to create the celebration bouquet; these pics are from my full colour quilt version (as I'm making 2x) and I'm still working on my subtle shaded one!<br />
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<img border="0" data-original-height="427" data-original-width="640" height="426" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEhDbxeZNmqgchVSjgTPhOXPCNaGijoxQJzReoXaWiKiF4DHH481D9XXoT2oockjxF_zsvL43S6alV3r4TH5zLpg5UAEYokL0kFTeLACVjXlDb-cmTPpcaI_xG5QxfMp-VtuWdMWzyqix5Lp/s640/DSC00170.JPG" width="640" /></div>
How bright and cheerful are these fussy cut bloom heads? I had planned to turn them the usual way from a selection of fabrics, but these bright and snappy flowers stole my heart and I decided that maybe I could squeeze in some fussy cutting after all (usually I prefer to make each shape).<br />
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<img border="0" data-original-height="427" data-original-width="640" height="426" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEgsxVXa4_wb4AXzThQGi27ZVonJghNNDiDCkeVYF5CkRToK4OLPF9OrXBQ6g0VCEfKIdWlyywows5xDQXDbq80QJbaPYNrXZ3NTyXxJEXZyCK7n5AEBaeuTJkvNhAL3hx8r42JxUBcPYqnh/s640/DSC00168.JPG" width="640" /></div>
I spent lots of time fiddling all the flower heads into position whilst making sure the overall shape wasn't growing. I tried transferring it the usually way two or three times, but kept messing it up. So finally, I arranged the flowers facing upright until I was happy and then I ran sticky tape over them (a gentle scotch tape) to keep everything in perfect position. It's a really useful trick and I can't believe it didn't occur to me sooner.<br />

Today I'm back in my studio, working on this month's design for HOYH. I had a vision of myself turning these flowers in the usual way, but when I saw this fabric I knew fussy cutting would be perfect for my bright version. It's such a pretty scene and I'm excited to be preparing the glorious borders next.. it's all going to snowball from here..<br />
<br />
OK, back to work!<br />

My applique production line has come to a grinding halt today! I'm all out of glue! I sometimes wonder how my love for applique turned into a fussiness for glue.. I'm always seeking out my favorite glues because no matter how many I buy, it's never enough. And although I know - <i>intellectually</i>- that I should buy more, I worry about the glue drying out.. so I'm in a constant glue shopping cycle.<br />
<br />
I get asked all the time what my favourite glue is, and I have three: Roxanne Basting Glue (although lately it's stickier than usual, has anyone else noticed this?), Elmer's Disappearing purple in the small tubes and Sewline Glue in the blue version. It also comes in a pink and they're both good, I just seem to prefer the blue.<br />
<br />
My usual stockist has been out of stock for 2 weeks, so I did try to be organized and stop this happening, but it happened anyway. So today, I'll be looking for new places to do my supply shopping and tidying up my sewing room which is currently out of control.<br />
