2015 SAL Natures Journey

It has been quite some time since I last posted. Life just seems to fly by. Although I did not post I have actually finished quite a few quilting projects since the last SAL.
I am so excited to be part of Chookyblue's Stich-Along this year. We are stitching Natures Journey by Annie Downs this time.  I absolutely love this pattern. This is my first attempt at appliqueing using the applique paper, Roxanne's glue and for now chop sticks! Lol. I hope to have my Lynette Anderson aplisticks for our next months assignment. In the past I have always used the raw edge applique method. I am confident now to move on to this more difficult method. It was a challenge but I think I did okay?!  I am pleased with the outcome on my February blocks.
Happy stitching girls!

  1. Love the different colour backgrounds and pretty applique fabrics.
    The paper and glue has made it much more achievable for me :)

    1. Thank you Narelle, I agree the applique paper and glue is not as hard as I thought. Glad I gave it a go!

  2. Beautiful bllocks! I am using water soluble interfacing which will stay in and give a slight puffed look after it is washed. This is my first big applique project and I am enjoying it too! Nice meeting you!
