Free hand applique' pattern tips. Many unique award winning applique' patterns for quilts and wall hangings, suitable for hand and machine applique.
Artfully Applique' offers applique' quilt patterns suitable for hand or machine applique'. All of the pattern samples shown are done with traditional needle turn. Some of the kit samples are done with a fusible product, and only because I prefer not to spend all my time making lots of samples of the same design just because the fabric becomes unavailable! All of the patterns are my original designs.
It is my desire that you find as much joy in completing applique' quilts as I found in creating applique' patterns for you. I know how precious the gift of time is and how much satisfaction comes from using that time to create beautiful applique' quilts. I strive to give you applique' quilting designs, which are worthy of your craftmanship. Quality is very important to me and your satisfaction is my top priority. If you ever find any reason to be dissatisfied with any of my products, have suggestions or need advice about completing your applique' quilting project, please write to me.

Any
blogging quilters out there? (sounds a little obscene ^_^) Love to hear from
you!
Just click here. This will take you to a post that gives you some applique tips!
Make it a gift!!
Would you like to give a special friend something from here? Just let me know and I will giftwrap it for you. Tell me where to ship it - back to you or directly to them.
Just use the comment option to let me know.
Free Shipping!!
If you order just one regular size pattern or two mini's, I will pay the shipping.
If you order more, the shipping will be much less than it has been. ($1.20-$2.50 now) I will not use the priority shipping deal unless you request it or you order enough that it's worth it. (That looks like about 10 regular patterns). One kit will cost $1.20 for shipping. It has been a mathematical exercise to figure all this out! My scale gives me ounces, the program uses pounds. I hope I have done it correctly for everything and remembered to change each item. If you order and the shipping seems too high, send me an email.
Special of the Month
11% off your total order, in honor of month #11. It's the very first special and I just couldn't come up with anything more clever right now. ^_^
A New Series
It is called "In a Word" and, thus, each design will have a one-word name. Here are the first three. The link below will take you to the pattern page. There are also kits, and those can be found using the browser menu to the (upper) right.

Here's a sample of what I am selling in the way of 'finished work'. They are the mini's - ones I have framed. Each one is a 'one-of-kind' with regard to the fabrics chosen. They are now available through this website. I will try to keep the page current, but it might be good to send me an email indicating which one you want. If it is gone, perhaps I can do another in similar colors. You can click on the link below to go to the page where they are shown. I haven't shown them in frames as it is easier to photograph them without the frame. (don't have to deal with the flash reflection, etc) The stand is also available at no extra charge. You can see it with the sample that is framed. The shipping is $6, which is really about half what it will cost.
Framed Mini's

I will no longer be taking the pieced patterns to shows, but they are still available here - at a reduced price. You can see them by clicking the following link.

All The News That's Fit To Print
And, then - it was over! Another year gone - can you believe it!? I have just one last 'engagement', a trunk show at the guild in Fairfield - just 'down the road a piece'. Then, it's time to begin some new designs, for sure. Lots of ideas floating around - so you'll just have to wait and see what makes it to completion.
I do plan to do more of the 'encrusted' pins and have a couple of places to put them on consignment. One place being the San Jose Museum where the framed mini's are. Will be mailing those asap. There's a picture of one below - however, it's been sold. Kind of my favorite, so am leaving the picture here for now.
And, I did finish the 2 new little designs for the wallhanging, and you can see how it looks now. Both of the new ones are included in one package, a kit, and still just $5. This one is a bit of a real bargain. I'm not sure at this point how the rest of them will be priced. There is at least one more small space that will surely be $5, don't know about the other 3. Certainly no more than $8!!
And here is the wallhanging for those super simple designs. At this time there are 5 kits available(the 2 little ones are in one kit). Those are sold separately and only as kits for $5.00. This wallhanging pattern is also sold only as a kit and it is $8.00. It includes all the directions for assembling the individual blocks and the fabric is just for the sashing. All the other fabrics you would have gotten when you purchased the block kits. Click on the link to get to the beginner's patterns and kits.
{There was a fused sample here before, so I am leaving the rest of the words that tell you about the fusing tips on the blog.} If you click on the link at the top of this page, it will take you to a 'tip' blog. Then, if you want, search within the applique blogs and click on "Fusing 101". (You just have to scroll down the page a little ways to find it.) No, not something you would do/use for hand applique. I only use it in order to be able to do lots of different kits without having to do a gazillion (hand) samples. It's all I can do to keep up with the ones for the new designs sometimes.
Oh, and there is also a blog about how to do skinny stems, my way. You might like that one, too. ^_^

I so loved the yellow mini iris that I decided to make a new sample for the Super Size #5 (iris) in the Ancient Art series. It is now available as a kit. The overlay piece is a 30" square, even tho this sample is just 27". Once finished, I decided it could be just a tad larger. I have changed the fabric on one of those 'bases' to a darker green and that is what is included with the kit.
