Going on another quest… to use up more of my stash fabrics,
I discovered how much fun it was to make stunning strip-pieced applique.
Being
passionate about machine fused applique, I wanted to incorporate this idea into
my own designs. So here is my first design: PLAYFUL TULIPS to showcase some bright and colorful
pieced-fabric appliques. It’s such a great way to bring renewed interest in your
own stash fabrics.
Flowers bring us so much cheer; and who doesn't love the
TULIP for it brings to us the promise that spring will soon be here again! Peeking
out from under the snow, it truly is a delightful sight!
So whether spring is soon to appear in your part of the
world, or it still feels like a distant memory; this may be the perfect project
to make to brighten your home, or to make as a gift, to bring cheer to
someone you love.
I generally use darker colors for background fabrics;
however, this one may be the exception because I wanted to contrast this
changeover in seasons, with how it looks in real life. Here the snow is
represented in white; and the colorful bulbs that burst forth with enthusiasm; are
showcased in bright colors using the pieced-fabric technique.
Why not try this delightful table runner to celebrate the
promise of spring, or to brighten up your living space at any time of year?
