Nope, not done yet!!! Still more and more and more about Spring Quilt Market 2010.
I remember all the buzz the first time a friend had discovered Sue Pelland's Leaves Galore Applique Templates. I went over to Sue's site to look at them.....and then thought to myself....who makes that many leaves? LOL....I can be very simple sometimes as you probably already have picked up :) So I continued to look and I learned these templates make more than leaves.
These are the quilts Sue had in her booth in Minneapolis. The templates were used to make the flowers, leaves and the ribbon around the quilt.
I'm not one for holiday quilts....but this one is absolutely beautiful. Red and Green get preferential treatment around here....my favorite color combination.
I think the border on this quilt really makes the quilt stand out.
See, some folks do use a lot of leaves!!! I know my girlfriend Mary Jane would certainly use that many if not more and she does needle turn applique. I'm just not to that point yet. A few more years practice and then I'll be ready.
Lots of movement in this piece which is a great example of the many uses of the Leaves Galore Templates.
This is Sue demonstrating the Leaves Galore Templates:If you like video like I do....here is the video:
Well, I know it is almost Fall Quilt Market and I'm just posting now....but you know what? I think I would need a team of folks covering all the great stuff at market. I need a IHAN Posse don't you think?
Smiles,

ReplyDeleteNow that is one of the cleverest things I've ever seen. Adding it to my Christmas list, lol! Leaves are very time-consuming to cut one at a time!
ReplyDeleteIf I could squeeze more hours in the day, more days in the week, and more weeks in the year - oh yes and more years in a lifetime - I would sign on for the posse.
ReplyDeleteWhy? why did you go and show that ruler...why? YOu know how I am about rulers...... I am trying so hard not to order one....just love what it does...
