Here are the blocks from our first Thistle Thicket applique class.  Linda F’s center.  She’s using Alison Glass Ex Libris.  Love the diagonal center.

Cydney’s center.  She’s nicknamed hers “Head on a Stick.”  Stay tuned.  🙂

Bev couldn’t be with us.  She sent me this photograph.  She wasn’t sure she was going to lie this one so she started a second one.

Ha!  Bev likes a challenge.  We can’t wait to see what you do!

Fowler’s!  Do you not love those striped stems?

Linda S’s center.  She set her patchwork on the diagonal.  Excellent workmanship and I love the rich purples.

Ginny’s beautiful Liberty fabrics.  I was able to sit with her at an Open Sew this week and watched her add this.

Ha!  Too much fun!  Tula meets Liberty.  Ka-boom!  Beautiful!

These six women put a lot of thought into their fabric selections.  They are all excellent hand appliquers.  The class is going to be a lot of fun and I am a very fortunate teacher.

Next month they should come back with centers looking like this…

and then this.  No goofing off in my classes!
