Happy Birthday Barb

The Constant Needle (from The Splendid Sampler series)

 

I made this entire card at the Guild’s Spring Retreat. I enjoy having a machine that will take me all the way from piecing to quilting. I often do my appliqué and then quilt the background but in this case I quilted the background and then added the appliqué on top. It’s a method I will use again.

I don’t know whether or not Barb is a seamstress but the designer of this block says she is constantly stitching something.  And even if Barb doesn’t sew, who doesn’t like a splash of colour early in the Spring?
