Laozi from the Tao Te Ching
This is how I'm looking at my new project "Auntie Green's Garden". It will be a long journey and I'm determined to enjoy "the trip" and not only think of the arrival (I think there might be another quote in there) .
I haven't done much hand applique in a while and was a bit out of practice. I tried a few techniques (needle turn, wash away applique paper and back basting) but I think I will stick with needle turn (the Ami Simms way) as it is the most straight forward method.
Thanks for your visit.

Beautiful - it will be worth it!
Oh, liebe Vreni,das wird wundervoll, ich liebe applizieren und ich mach auch am liebsten Needlerturn oder reverse appliqué.
Ist das ein MonatsBOM? Oder kann man den insgesamt kaufen. War auf der Seite und da steht was von 14.95$ oder 68.00$
Ich bin total in Versuchung, wenn da nur nicht meine gefühlten 100 Baustellen wären.
Ich schau dir auf jeden Fall weiter zu, denn dein Mittelteil ist wunderschön geworden.

Love the bright colors! Keep seeing this pattern pop up in different colour ways. Yours has made me want to purchase and start my own Annie's green
Lovely block--I really like those stems--and the birdie... I am trying to SLOW down also...hugs, Julierose
Oh, your auntie Green center is looking wonderful. How fun to work on this project with friends. I too enjoy simple needleturn for appliqué, much more straightforward to me!
Love the peppermint flowers :) Your block and quilt will be gorgeous.
Wow! It is beautiful!! Two weeks to do all that work.....amazing. I am slowing down myself. Trying to enjoy every step of quilt making and not feel like I have to finish right now. Looking forward to seeing all your blocks.
Das ist absolut der richtige Weg, so ein großes Projekt an zu gehen. Ich wünsch Dir viel Spaß dabei!

Hallo Vreni,
gfällt mir sehr, dein Startblock! Kann mich da nur allen anschließen und werde weiterhin schauen, was du da so alles zeigst.
Viel Spaß dabei.

It's a beautiful project and you're going really well. I like your approach, our hobby is as much about the enjoyment of sewing as the end result.
I really like your colours that you have chosen. This is a great start to your project. Enjoy the journey.
Your quilt block is beautiful!
It looks lovely Vreni! A little bit brighter than most Auntie Greens I have seen which is what I really love about yours :)
It's very beautiful! You make me want to slow down and do some applique again!
It looks like you have done heaps already. What a good idea to work with friends and set homework.
wonderful start for your top. Enjoy the process.
It looks exquisite, I love the prints you have chosen. I have never tried appliqué, looks quite tricky.
Really pretty, and I'm so happy for you to get to share this project with friends. Seldom, if ever, have I found a friend who wanted to make the same thing I do. You're very fortunate. I wish you lots of fun as you keep making progress.
It is looking great however you stitch it Vreni.
Oh Vreni! It's looking GORGEOUS! I LOVE the stripe-y background, and, of course, the stripe-y stems. I'm looking forward to watching your progress on this!
