Applique Daffodils & Fun Mail



at BarbaraBrackman.blogspot.com,
I whipped up a table runner for a birthday gift in 30s, reproductions.
The flowers in the yard must have been an inspiration.



The backing is the same print as the center block.

 I just knew I was hanging on to that Judie Rothermel Aunt Grace
ties one on fabric for a reason!

The applique fabric pieces were from the Dear Jane stash.

Speaking of stash...
Special thanks to the sender of this beautiful fabric.
My mind is racing with possibilities.
I had no idea the line included a pink version!!

Yesterday, I had the opportunity to visit with Shirley Johnson at RSVP. She's thrilled with the goodies and blocks from the RETRO-Fabulous readers and was kind enough to share a quick embroidery lesson. Next on my list: a detailed embroidery block for another RSVP project in the works.

Happy Stitching,
Heather

  2. The choice of daffodils is brilliant! When they pop up (there are hundreds in Maryland) I feel like Mother Nature is literally slapping us with spring. I must do one of those blocks. I am thinking a pillow for my bed since I put my favorite 1930's Dresden Plate quilt on the bed in the spring. The Aunt Grace fabrics will go perfectly.

  5. Lovely applique Heather, we're a long way off from daffodils here. I have a lot of little scraps leftover as well, although only in the blue range, but I'm sure they will be used one day.
