LOVE Letters
Lunch Box Quilts just released their new Love Letters applique pattern. I’m not ambitious enough (right now) to make the whole quilt, but the pattern includes directions for this smaller wallhanging. Don’t you just love the details in the letters?

Ruffler Foot #86
I cut 3 1/2 inch strips for my ruffles that I sewed, turned, pressed and ruffled for the pillow. The gathering foot would have had a tough time working its magic with the seam allowance down the center of the fabric strip. The ruffler plowed through perfectly.

“Blooming” Chrysanthemums
Boy, did I have fun creating this pillow using the three-dimensional designs in OESD’s Chrysanthemum Premier Collection #017! Parts of the design are heavily stitched, and when the embroidery is complete you simply cut through the stitches with a very sharp knife to make them “bloom.”
