I have posted before about my attempt at needle turn appliqué....the Webster's Tulips..from the book "Four Seasons of Quilts"
It was designed by Blue Meadows Designs, which I am sad to hear have closed their blog and online store.
Anyway, she said that this pattern was inspired and named in honour of Marie Webster, an American quilt designer who had a quilt pattern business at the beginning of the 1900's. You can see some of the original quilts here. The original Webster tulip pattern was called Wind Blown Tulips

I am still working away at this sporadically..and some of the time, it is easier!! I still have some problems with the points though.
I thought I was doing well, getting several of these blocks finished..but when I laid them out, it looks like I have a long way to go !!
Guess I can post this as a WIP for a very, very long time !!

ReplyDeleteWow, it is beautiful, Flo! I hear you about needle turn. I struggle with my Stained Glass tulips. Yours will be gorgeous -- you can do it!
ReplyDeleteYou do very nice applique. I have never done needle turn, since it seems the most difficult of all the applique methods. Yours is lovely.
