Favourate Places





Favorite Places One of my favorite places is in the kitchen and this art quilt all started with a tea towel. I pieced a 9” block on the end with a cut up towel and the design represents a lattice pie crust. I got the wonderful “moms cookies” embroidery design from UrbanThreads then added some appliqué designs around it. I hand sewed the appliqué designs on with WonderFil hologram threads, they are so pretty. Then I added some hand written notes that tell what I love about baking. After quilting and binding my little quilt I glued it to a rolling pin using fabric glue, I was inspired after seeing a Quilting Arts magazine.

  8. Sharon,
    This is such a clever idea. I love incorporating all kinds of unconventional things into a piece. It adds so much personality. This makes me want a piece of home made apple pie!
