"Circles" from Leigh

Wish I could get a better photo, but the colors are pretty dark.  All that wonderful hand embroidery and applique.  I quilted in the ditch around each circle, then did straight lines connecting each circle.

And a partial circle evenly spaced around the borders.

 

"Scrappy squares with embroidery" by Pam

What a great idea to use an orphan block as a focal point.  I don't know what type of embroidery this is, but Pam did it all by hand.  Then made scrappy squares that all finish at about 3" squares

Quilted with an edge to edge design of sunflowers and it incorporated the flowers beautifully.
 

Crazy pieced by Leigh

Leigh and her amazing embroidery and hand appliques just astound me.  All of the applique blocks were SID, then the crazy pieced all got a modification of a Greek Key design.  Outer border is pebbled after having been SID around the applique. As always with Leigh's quilt, I start with a thought of "What the heck am I going to do?"  Followed by a few trials and errors, and then I find the perfect design and just run with it!  So much fun!

 

"Scraps of My Life" by Leigh

I'm sure I've asked this before, but how does she do it?  All this amazing hand applique and embroidery.  I don't recall the name of the designer, but Leigh states that this is her new favorite  designer.
