So far, I am really enjoying this appliqué project, the free BOM from Sentimental Stitches - you can find it here. It's Poppy's Polka Dot Flower Garden. Two blocks are available at the beginning of each month.
These large blocks - two of the corner blocks - were very time consuming.... but, I have time!
These are the fabrics I've pulled for this project. I enjoy the busy work of pulling, editing, and tidying up a stash.
Love the afternoon sunshine these days -

Have a great holiday. Thank you for your time and effort in writing an informative and thoughtful blog.
ReplyDeleteThank you for your kind words Helen.
DeleteThose pictures of Charlotte made me smile--what an adorable little girl--warms your heart I am sure...
ReplyDeleteBeautiful applique..nice work hugs from snowy SE CT Julierose
I'm loving your applique project. I get great pleasure in editing (great description) my stash, too. Little Charlotte is so cute--what an infectious smile!
ReplyDeleteThe polka dot blocks are so pretty. I like looking closely to find polka dots in each one. Those corner blocks look pretty intense!
ReplyDeleteCharlotte is absolutely adorable.
Beautiful tree! I do so love a glowing tree. Hate to see it go at season's end. And I love the painting of Christ you have to the side of it.
Thank you Janet. It's a small print of a painting by Minerva Teichert.
DeleteOh my goodness...Charlotte is so beautiful. She brought a smile to my face.
ReplyDeleteI knew you'd love the Polka Dot quilt. Hugs
warmest holiday wishes to you and yours!
ReplyDeleteThank you Martha! You too!
DeleteYour 2 new appliqué blocks are gorgeous and I like your fabric pull a lot! Charlotte looks so happy - love those baby smiles! Your temps are way better than the “feels like 1 degree” here right now! By the way I enjoyed the lovely colored fall trees in your last post - I’m going through autumn “withdrawal” here 🙂.
ReplyDeleteThank you Gladi! She's very happy and good natured. Looks like you had quite a lot of snow!
DeleteYour applique blocks are wonderful! Little Charlotte isn't so little anymore! Isn't it amazing that the older we get the faster they seem to grow. She's a little sweetheart!
ReplyDeleteCharlotte is adorable!!!!
ReplyDeleteThose blocks are beautiful but do look complex. You have put a lot of time into them.
ReplyDeleteI, too, find pleasure in 'editing' my stash!
your blocks looks great! nice project and your fabrics are lovely.
ReplyDeleteCharlotte is so so cute - what a doll.
Sunshine is so nice in the wintertime to lift our moods. It came out yesterday on the new fallen snow and it was magical.
What a charming tree. Thanks for sharing the video. It is beautiful.
I'm enjoying the blocks, but not making them yet. Love your applique!!
ReplyDeleteI covet sunny days in winter! Our days are so darn short.
Merry Christmas!
I'm amazed at the number of fabrics you have used in each block. You must have a bigger fabric collection in your small apartment than I realized! I love it when the sun comes out on a winter day. Merry Christmas.
ReplyDeleteYour appliqué is very pretty. Your grandbaby is a cutie!
ReplyDeleteThe stack of fabrics will work well for your project. When I see a stack like that, I want to dive in and play with them.
ReplyDeleteWhat a smile Charlotte has~! Don't these little ones gain personality quickly!
ReplyDeleteI guess we quilters are blessed during this pandemic because we always have some project that we don't mind working on and the time goes rather quickly. Stay safe!
