It all started when this dear friend whose name is Joanne
showed me this little applique pattern that she was working on
pretty, right?
Well, I couldn't resist making it so Joanne kindly loaned me her magazine - by the way, the magazine is McCall's Quilter's Workshop, Autumn 2011 issue. I do not dabble in small prints and this, of course, should have small prints. So buddy Joanne kindly gave me quite a few 2" squares to get me started with!
I was all caught up in the excitement of making this little wallhanging and mentioned it to my buddy Leslie
Now, Leslie does not applique and this is what this pattern is all about. So one day recently, Leslie and I went over to buddy Joanne's house and Leslie got to see this beautiful little wallhanging that Joanne has almost finished! Yes, you got it ... Leslie was smitten! So a quick little lesson was had by Leslie. Now Leslie does not quilt with small print fabrics either, so Joanne very kindly gave her some 2" blocks too to get her started. That's the kind of buddy you want to have ... a quilter friend who shares!
Well, as life goes, Leslie, Joanne and I were emailing back and forth with another buddy Denise
she asked what all the chatter was about "the gri." I then sent her a photo of the pattern we were all doing. Yep ... you guessed it ... she is going to make it too! LOL We are going to see Denise today and check out her small prints! LOL
I will leave you with this image for now ... this is my start on my "Charming" journey ..... OMG! More later! ;-
