Our resident
expert appliqué
artist, Joan, has begun a beautiful
new project, “256 Pieces of the
Past”. This is a lovely vintage piece
with a vase of beautiful appliquéd
roses in a picture that is centered
and surrounded by embroidered
and crayon shaded plates on
the wall above a delicate
embroidered punch bowl and tea
set. Surrounding this delicate
vignette are two columns of crazy
patch foundation paper piecing
that can be embellished with
embroidery and beads. We
know many of you will want to
make this gorgeous piece, so

who may want it. There will be
no kits available, however we
will be delighted to help you select
fabrics and flosses for your
quilt
