Come, take a peak at a project I’m working on, inspired by “Sew Liberated: 20 Stylish Products for the Modern Sewist” by Meg McElwee! Meg’s book is a gorgeous introduction to the art of applique – sewing fabric patches or shapes onto a background fabric. Her directions are clear, detailed and accompanied by great pictures. She even gives specific recommendations for sourcing unusual supplies.
I am a newbie to both applique and embroidery. Meg’s excellent how-to primer at the back of the book, enabled me to use both skills with ease and utmost enjoyment on my latest project: Panel Curtains for Aria’s room….

Rachel,
Oh, that is so nice! I love the cheerful colors and the birds.
I love embroidery, and you’re right, it’s such a pleasant way to pass time. I’m currently planning to embroider some quotes on pillows for our bedroom and a “A Midwife Helped me Out” singlet for the new baby
Oh, Rachel that is adorable! I wasn’t very inspired to applique until I saw this… really great work.
And I vote no leaves…I like it the way it is!
