Applique Group

Oh, what a glorious day in North Carolina. We had some rain this morning but it has turned into a beautiful windy fall day. The leaves are flying. This morning while it was still a little rainy I headed off to my applique group. Not a whole lot to show but I have a few photos I thought you would like to see.
This is a wool pattern designed by Primitive Gatherings and done by our Fabulous facilitator, Kathleen.
These two photos are blocks done by Marianne. This pattern is from Blackbird Designs.
A Giveaway Sneak Peek!
Here is another Country Sunshine top made by Virginia. This quilt is in a Blackbird Designs book and was created by Lorraine Hofmann.
Hope you are having a great day where ever you may live.
With Passion,
Carrie P.

Live Joyously!

What a tempting sneak peak! I can't wait to see what it is.

Annette said...

I love the applique pieces. Especially the houses and vines. I am working on one similar to that right now. ...And that is an intriguing little peek.

Shakerwood said...

Boy, your applique group does great work! Ours hasn't met in two months....busy with life I guess.

Nice tease with the giveaway!

Janet said...

Your fabulous facilitator is making a fabulous wool project. The colors just glow on that dark background. Thanks for sharing the other projects too. Fun little sneak peek :0)

I love the wool...someday! And the Blackbird Designs Houses are wonderful. I really want to make that quilt but simply cannot decide on the fabric I want to use...I've seen it made up so many ways--with traditional fabrics and modern...with 30's and others...and they all look wonderful! Fun sneak peek too!

It's been far too long since I've visited. I don't even think I"ve posted since I got myself back into the blog world.

As always, Carrie, just beautiful. Such talent.

Kaaren said...

I love those BBD quilts. I have made a promise to myself that one day I'm going to make one.

Your sneak peek has really aroused my curiosity Carrie because of the WOOL. Can't wait to see it!

Karen said...

I have the wool house project ready for stitching. But then it has been ready for several months. Your friend's is well done.
I have the blocks prepped for the Blackbird Designs house quilt. But then that has been at that stage even longer than the wool project.
I have wanted to make the Country Sunshine pattern. Oh, how wonderful that quilt is going to be when it is quilted. Do you know if it will be hand or machine quilted?

Would that sneak peek happen to be a candy corn? Hmmm....I'm intriqued. You run with some of the best appliquers!

Abby and Stephanie said...

So windy here the shingles are flying today! I love that top project with the houses and trees on the black - that is awesome. Everything is beautiful but I love your sneak peek the best - are those quilted leaves I see? Yummy!

I have to admit I came here because I recognized the Blue Ridge Parkway as your profile picture on Sheri's site. My husband and I were there a few days ago for a short anniversary trip. Love those Smokey Mountains.

Your appliques are gorgeous by the way.

mbroider said...

These houses are telling me one of them or a house like them will prolly be my second applique project, LOL.

I have done Thistle Manor cross stitch of Blackbird design. So i should probably do one of theirs, eh? Thanks for you got me thinking:)

The woolie piece is adorable and I love the house blocks. Such talented ladies.

Your group does such beautiful work!
Thanks for sharing the photos. Your sneak peak makes me curious!

In Awe of Applique said...

Your group does awesome work! BBD has always been a fav of mine and definitely on my "to do list" (when the applique skills improve, of course!)

Cindy said...

Oh my word, I know I already commented here - but didn't even realize that I was commenting on a "sneak peak" day. Today, 10/09 it dawned on me.

Not my first "duh" moment and certainly not my last.

Blogless me said...

I have never worked with wool but I feel so tempted...
I bet the giveaway will involve applique ;-)

Mary on Lake Pulaski said...

Your group had some lovely things to show and thanks for sharing.

Dawn said...

I've been away at a quilt retreat and getting caught up on my blog reading...amazing work. Thanks for sharing. Want wait to see the rest of the sneek peak!
