scarecrowc15Congratulations to Bev Adcock, my winner for the Fall Into Fall Quilt Bloggers Giveaway!

Bev, I hope you enjoy all of the designs in Easy Appliqué Blocks: 50 Designs in 5 Sizes.

Well, that was a whole lot of fun! One hundred and seventy-seven of you visited my little corner of the web and left such nice comments. Many said things like:

I love appliqué

Yay!

I’m just getting into appliqué

Yay again! Welcome!

Have done lots of applique in the past (distant past, lol!) It’s time to do that again.

Right on! Welcome back.

I’ve always wanted to try applique, but been afraid to try…

Come on down! There are a gazillion ways to appliqué and nobody says you have to do it a certain way. (If they do, think ‘noted and ignored’.) (That’s a quote from Psych :) ) Try out a few until you find the one that makes you comfortable and gives you results you like. Take the time to learn the tips and tricks, the little refinements that make a world of difference, before you throw up your hands in despair. I’ll be posting soon about the fabulous Keri Duke workshop I took last weekend and I’ll be talking about some of these issues then.

This blog is the gateway to a ton of great appliqué information, many different kinds. Explore the blogroll of appliqué designers and pattern companies, and take a stroll through the Categories. Those subscribed by email, you’ll need to click over to the blog itself to see what I’m talking about.

Thanks again for visiting during the Giveaway and I hope you all won prizes!

Until next time,
Kay
