What style of applique do you like to do the most: realistic scenes,
Baltimore album style, cartoon-like, folk style, Hawaiian, Celtic
knotwork, abstract/geometric, or something I forgot to mention?

What makes you like that particular style better than other styles?

Do you like to plan your own designs for a style that is totally
yours, or follow an excising pattern?

Ummm, guess I'll start off.

Celtic knotwork, Stained glass, reverse applique, Hawaiian.

Can't tell you why I like it, can't put any of the above styles #1 on
my list - I like 'em all!

Will draft my own, also use a commercial pattern and jump off from
there.

Next......

I like most applique styles but have not tried a large
Hawaiian (don't know why - they just don't appeal) and I
prefer to work by hand on most of them. I have my own
method for doing applique onto pre-quilted fabric, so I
spend minimal time at the SM. I've done album-style blocks,
picture blocks, Celtic knots and abstract shapes onto
prequitled fabric, and I don't think I will ever go back to
any previous method I have tried for large projects.

Current project is a 6' Jacobean Tree of Life. I think I
will experiment with padding the applique, just to see how
it looks. I hope to put a totally different applique design
(abstract cat figures) on the reverse.

I love to start with a design and then modify or develop it
and see where I end up. Some of the finished designs are
unrecognisable from the starting points. I recently broke a
Celtic knot border down to interlocking "S" shapes just over
1" wide, which made the placement and applique much easier,
and virtually eliminated marking.

Unfortunately I enjoy the experimentation far more than the
repetition required to complete a project - hence the UFO
pile lol

I visited your tree of life and it is beautiful! I was also impressed with
all your fabric, none of which I saw in the tree - LOL. Give Enness, Donut
and Boofhead a scratch for me please.

E, B &D are all snoozing (it is pre-bedtime nap time
lol), but graciously accept your scratches.


I am not sure what fabric you are referring to. The fabrics
in the Tree album have all been put aside in a box for the
tree quilt.

Or did you mean the stash?
