Kitche Cupboard Quilt, WIP. Tall Teapot-Block One

Continuing with the hand applique, but am trying wax paper on the right side of the fabric instead of the back or needle turn. Great tutorial found here on Creativity Among Chaos. Also, for the first time I am lap quilting by the block to be sewn together by machine later. This could get interesting, but hey.... gotta keep learning something new, right? I am not drawing any quilting lines either, just meandering my way through it. I am also thinking of adding some Big Stitch quilting on this one too. Whatta Rebel! :P

This block is from Fatcat's Teapot Curio.

My quilt will be in the shadow box style also, with some original blocks of my own. Eventually. :) But I fell in love with two of FC's teapots!

Vintage Embroidery and Reverse Applique

An old embroidery pattern I picked up off the net, and my first 'stab' at reverse applique. I was satisfied with the result. :D

You can still see the washable pencil I used around the edge of the muslin, but it will disappear soon enough.

Free embroidery pattern can be found here.
