WIP Wednesday

Another week has slipped by ,it is time for WIP Wednesday , I have some things to share but I really have not had a lot of stitching time this past week with being away for a couple of days . I have lots of things in progress , some slower than others but here is what I have been working on these past few days.
 After much frustration I finished block four of the Baskets for Temecula Quilt ,if there was a way to turn that around I found it ,however they are so darn cute aren't they . I guess there is just one more to go .
I see this picture is not all that clear , this is of course the BOM Hannah and Harrington of Raspberry Rabbits fame , I have this all set to applique , it is ironed on and the embroidery is traced out but no stitching as of yet.
Another wonderful wool project , Melody of the House on the Side of the Hill's BOM  Penny Rug , again everything is ironed on but the only thing I have stitched on this is the clapboards are all sewn ,I am so loving this project .

 Just a sneak peak here as this is in progress and if it turns out ok will be my giveaway gift during the bloghop in April , stay tuned for this one :-)
 I am also in the process of making the binding for the Oriental Beauty have that about ready to sew on so by next week that should be a finish . I am linking up today to the Needle and Thread Network , be sure to stop by and visit , it is worth seeing all the wonderful work being done . Thanks for stopping by and come again real soon.
 hugs Sheila

    Great blocks and your wool appliqueing looks like fun. I just bought my first kit and it says to wash the wool felt pieces, do you do that?

    Wow, Sheila, you have been busy! I love those basket blocks and think they look great! But I know firsthand that everything you make is fabulous! :o) Can't wait to see what you're making for the blog hop.

    XOXO,

    On your applique projects, do sew by hand or machine? And you mentioned they are ironed in place...with a fusible web of some sort? Sorry for all the questions. I'm just trying to get opinions on applique so I can try some projects, something I've been wanting to do.

    It looks like you've been very productive. Two wool appliques going on at once - that's a mission!

    you have peaked my interest with the red and lace! And gee! those baskets and the direction of the triangles seem to make for a special event in Frog Stitching! PS. this is a second try at keeping my fingers in proper order and hitting the intended keys!

    Baskets are a favorite of most quilters I know - they are wonderful! I finished February's Hannah and Harrington and plan to prep the March block today. I love those blocks! blessings, marlene
