Yippee! Penny Garland Wool Applique Finished

Need a little more time to get "just the right" photos... in the meantime here is a sneak peak !!




I quilted on my Janome Horizon and used Hobbs Wool Batting.

You can see progress pictures of "Penny Garland" here and here.

More to come...

Sew happy it's finished.

Hugs, Karen

      Awe -- thanks Angie. I'm loving that it's done. Now I need a label and it's in the books for 2013. Thanks for your kind words. Hugs, Karen

    How stunning! Is the background wool also? Thanks for sharing.

      Hi Connie -- the background is cotton fabric which allows the piece to be a little lighter (weight) than a wool background. It also allows you to use a batting for quilting. I used a cotton backing fabric with a wool bat. I just love the way it turned out. Hope to post more details on it soon. Thanks for hosting the linky party and for your great projects that always inspire! Hugs, Karen

    Wow! It is lovely. I enjoyed a Diehl class this past year on machine appliqué. It was a good technique but I still prefer to do it by hand. I love the quilting you did on this piece.

      Thank you Suzanne! I love to quilt on my Janome Horizon... Practice, practice... I enjoyed Kim Diehl's class but I did not use the fusible edged on any of my wool projects. Thanks for your kind words.... Hugs,Karen

    Just came across from Richards blog link, this is beautiful, I love the colours you've used its so warm looking. I'm going to nip over to your progress post to see how it's done, is this what they call 'penny rug'?

      Hi Peg! Well I think that Kim's Penny Garland is much bigger than a traditional Penny Rug would be. Hope you had a chance to read through the progress posts! Please feel free to Email or message me if I can help answer any questions. Thanks for your kind words! Hugs, Karen
