Trailing Vines panel one finished.







It has taken a while, but I have been slowly adding leaves and branches to the first panel. Last week I completed sewing the last few leaves to the last branch.


A couple of closer photos...














I am a bit impatient to see how it will look with the borders attached, so I laid out the fabrics to get an idea.







I haven't done much sewing during the last week or so. I got a cold and its the sickest I've been for a long time. I am still recovering and thankfully I feel like I have finally turned the corner today. I have a bit more energy. No going back to gym yet, but I do have sewing and fabric out today. :)

  1. Hey Girlfriend! - now you take it easy and try to get really better. Your vines and leaves are coming along beautifully - are you using Kaffe fabrics? My fingers are itching to do some appliqué.

  13. Hi Miriam, thanks for popping across to comment on my blog. And hope you are feeling a bit better.

    My goodness - LOVE this quilt - I've seen it on Glorious Applique blog but never 'met' anyone who is actualy doing it. I LOVE your fabric choices. And the Kaffe Fassett quilt in your previous post.

    Aren't we lucky these days to have such an abundance of wonderful fabrics available to us? In fact, I'm often spoilt for choice!

  15. I love your sashing fabric Miriam and the panel looks amazing with it. Sometimes I wish mine was redder but then I stuck to a pink as in the original so not too unhappy with that. Please feel better soon so you can do more leaves, this is so beautiful.
