I don't know that I will ever attempt this much applique or hand quilting but isn't this quilt beautiful?
This weekend was also the greater Kansas City area ShopHop and so I stopped in at a few shops to purchase some Jo Morton fabrics. I'm still not sure what my next quilting project will be but I'm very tempted to use that new fabric. Hope you all had a great weekend too!
Terry's coming out with a pattern for this strawberry quilt very soon! This is another quilt that I'd make if I were better at applique. I know - practice, practice, practice. I think its the colors and the checkerboard design on the strawberries I like about this one.

I love those applique quilts. I am okay at machine applique, but my hand stitching needs work. My embroidery (aka applique) looks like a 4th grader. I was practicing last night and said to Big T "my hands won't do what I need them to do." His response - "you've always had that problem." It got real quiet around our house for the rest of the evening. (But - he's right.)

warp is lengthwise. weft is crosswise, from selvage to selvage. Never heard of fabric like that!
Sounds like a wonderful time! Thanks for sharing.
Like you, I could never remember which was warp and weft.
EASY! Think of a map, West(W) on the left, East(E) on the right. Going from West to East (WE) = WEft. I never forget it now.
