The Magic Vine

This is a new applique wall hanging that I have recently started.  I found pictures in an old magazine of a couple of people who had done this.  The pattern must have been in an older one that I don't have. So I just made my own pattern copying those pictures.


This is the center portion of the applique


I wanted to use 2 batiks but the store that I went to only had one that I liked for my background color and I chose a tiny print then to contrast it.  That was the best I could do.  I didn't want to shop around.  We don't have many quilt shops around here.
The yellow has what looks like tiny fish all over it.

Cheryl's Quilt


Cheryl made this quilt for her husband using ties.


Things were pretty thick under those ties, but it all worked out well.

My Hawaiian Wall Hanging


3 different views of my  newest wallhanging. 


I  really enjoy doing applique and this was a fun project.



There was a time when I didn't like Hawaiian quilts, but now I really enjoy them.


 Now on to the quilt machine.
