Giveaway, Applique, and Embroidery

Can you believe July is almost here? Mary at Quilt Hollow wants to help you celebrate with a very cute quilt that she is giving away. So go check out her blog and please tell her you saw it first on my blog.
Since my blog is called A Passion for Applique I thought I would show you some, just not mine, unfortunately.
These two photos are from both of the groups I attend each month. They are great, aren't they?
I have had these little hearts done for a while and just kept forgetting to show them. These are the free BOM at Crabapple Hill. They are embroidered on a very pale green fabric. I just can't get the color to show up very well when I take the photos.


While sitting here typing I just heard the first cicada. Now summer is officially here.

With Passion,
Carrie P.

Ah, summer, what power you have to make us suffer and like it. Russel Baker

  3. The hearts are so pretty - I can just about make out the pale green. Gorgeous applique - I have to ask if the big quilt with the birds on it is from a pattern? I would love to make it (well, add to my list of WIPs!)

  5. Terrific embroidered blocks! I'm going to head over to her site and check things out! The appliqued quilt and the blocks are so darned perfect. I so wish I had a group like yours so I could learn and be more encouraged to applique! ~karen

    Love your show n tell from your applique group. I've been away from mine so long, yesterday I started prepping my 5th block to AMG, thought it was time to get back at it. This way I will be prepped and ready for vacation.
