Miscellaneous

Have you heard of the new Quilt Designer Blog Hop and Cookie Swap being hosted by Stacy of Buttermilk Basin? Today is the first day of the hop. Brenda Gervais from Country Stitches is the first one to share a very cute punchneedle design and recipe. You can see the complete list of participants on Stacy's Oct. 27the post. It should be a very fun blog hop.
I received my second Quilt Aid block in the mail yesterday.
Here is the newest block I made for the Christmas Around the world swap I am in. Look at all these great blocks that others have made. All these blocks are on there way to the UK for the next person to add her block.

Quilt Aid USA 2010

Have you heard about Quilt Aid? Twelve Designers have created some really great blocks from a beautiful line of fabric to support the Addis Ababa Fistula Hospital in Ethiopia. I have supported this charity in the past. When I saw the blocks I thought it would be a great way to help out by buying some the blocks with a portion of the sales going to this charity. I am ordering four blocks to make a small wall hanging. Our quilty friends in Australia also have some other blocks designed for this charity.

I have gotten my first block from the Fat Quarter Shop with the other three on their way.
Look! I finally have some of my own applique to show you. I decided to join in and make the blocks from the Linen Closet Quilts. I liked the first block but...
I wanted to see the second block before I made my decision to join in. Well, I like it too. The third block is posted on Dawn's blog, so if you want to join in you still have time to catch up. The bird, stems, pink circles, and star are wool. I am making my blocks with both cotton and wool this time.

Applique Group Show and Tell

Before I show you some applique from the group I attend each month I just want to apologize for the wrong link. On the post for the bucket liner some of you discovered the link was wrong and let me know that it was. Which I appreciate very much.
Here is the correct link. www.classiccampbell.com. So if you are interested in the bucket liner and couldn't get to the site now you can.

Sorry for the mix up.

Now for some applique. Look at this wonderful quilt that Marianne made. Check out the quilting too.
This wonderful wool applique was done by Carol.
