I finished the first applique cornerstone for the border of the latest quilt. I don't think this is going to be a quick process, but I'm fairly happy with how it turned out, considering it's my first attempt at applique, except for the usual heart practise.
Remember I said I had a nice postman? He came today with another lovely parcel, all the way from Australia.
Two lovely parcels wrapped in fat quarters. A few weeks ago I was asking about kitchen tea towels and Peg very sweetly offered to send me some lovely Aussie tea towels. Well that parcel arrived today, and look what was inside.
Half a dozen lovely tea towels, 2 Aussie magazines and a couple of extremely cute buttonhole applique quilt patterns. Thank you so much Peg, what a treasure you are.
Happy Stitching, and thank you for stopping by to visit with me.

Linda a (late) happy birthday to you! What a lovely gifts you recieved.
Beautiful gifts. What gorgeous applique!!!!
That is really a fun mail.
Beautiful applique, I would have never known you were a novice!
That applique is beautiful! I'm using some of my birthday money to sign up for a hand applique class in February -- not sure I have the courage for anything big, but I'm going to try!
As for making you feel young -- as my daughter has taken to saying -- aww, shucks!
Way Cool! Gotta' love those packages! Lots of goodies!
Oh how wonderful! I am glad you had such a great birthday!
Great job on the applique! Lucky lady with all those goodies.
Sorry I missed your birthday - no computer at home and didn't work. Happy Birthday!
I love your applique, Linda. When I took my sampler class last fall, my favorite block was the applique. I dreaded it because I thought it would be my least favorite. Now I can't wait to do more!
What beautiful applique!
Not only do we have the same first name, we almost have the same birthday! Mine was today!
So belated Happy Birthday!
Blessings
Linda
