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.

Special of the Month
It is February, and I have chosen to just do 20% off your total order.
 
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.

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!? And I have already done the first show of 2010 - one of those very long trips! Went to Tucson. While Bobbie and I shared a booth again, I had to drive separately in order to leave there a day early. I had scheduled a class in Fairfield for the Tues. after the show. There was just no way I could get back on time without leaving early. So, Sophie and I just hung tough and did it! ^_^ All went well and the class was a roaring success and well worth the effort! My many thanks to the Big Guy!! ^_^

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. 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, now, it is time for me to design more to fill in a couple more spaces in this wallhanging. The last ones are the two tiny ones and both 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!! hmmm - haven't tackled this project yet!

I did however, design and finish a sample for the show for another Simply My Flowers. Another of my favorite flowers - used to love to see them peaking up thru' the snow back in Ohio. You will find the picture and link to it below. One problem with this one - while it's in the 'simpler' series - it isn't! Have rated it for "Advanced" - sorry, just couldn't help myself when I drew it.

The 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. ^_^
