Yours are wonderful. I can't wait to see the final product. Thanks for sharing your technique. I am working on a big wool applique project from Primitive Pieces and I think I went about it backwards. It's my first project like this and I think I should have picked something smaller to start with. Luckily it's supposed to look primitive because I'm sure it will when it's finished! :)<br /><br />They say girls learn driving skills especially stick shifts easier than guys so I'm sure your daughter will get the hang of it in no time...hopefully before too many more gray hairs! mtquilterhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/11416801244347996555noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8547359357445201023.post-6494441232648021452012-08-22T10:54:34.715-05:002012-08-22T10:54:34.715-05:00beautiful sunflower!

I almost crashed us through the fence by the quarry - he was screaming "HITTHEBRAKEHITTHEBRAKEHITTHEBRAKE!!!!" Well, I didn't hit the fence but it was close. He actually made me get out of the car and walk home. I looked back at him and he was still sitting in the front passenger seat - holding his head in his hands. So my uncle taught me how to drive :) An automatic - Lol. <br /><br />And Teresa, if this is a quilt that you are designing, I may just keel over! Your work is so amazing!! I hope the copyright issues are settled quickly so we can see what you've been up to - I'm sure it's going to make me faint in admiration :)Pamhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/01904385069245590375noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8547359357445201023.post-34620239275542964552012-08-21T13:13:56.966-05:002012-08-21T13:13:56.966-05:00That applique is absolutely amazing!

I immediately freaked out! Oh, I'd run screaming if that happened! Anything that comes to life, like the trees in Wizard of Oz, well....that's just nightmare stuff! Sheesh! But the field of sunflowers was gorgeous! Of course, now when I see a field of flowers....I'll be thinking "Don't turn my way! Don't do it" Ha!<br />reganhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/14822110311373036914noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8547359357445201023.post-52032112428066180362012-08-21T11:33:04.145-05:002012-08-21T11:33:04.145-05:00I can't wait to see these completed blocks, th...I can't wait to see these completed blocks, the teasers look fabulous.

Stick shift and learning to drive - ack. That's all our family had when I was a teen. Memories so strong of Dad telling everyone to get back in the car, and my youngest sister screaming in earnestness from the pit of her heart: "No way! She's going to kill us all!!" and I, too, convinced that I was going to kill us all. . . ::shudder::Lynettehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/10424861624240818479noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8547359357445201023.post-63809214755300752092012-08-21T10:44:45.007-05:002012-08-21T10:44:45.007-05:00love the sunflowers!
