HAND APPLIQUE

I have embarked on a hand appliqué project.  At a small group quilting meetup I admired some trees that one of the members was working on and thought what a fun project.  
So I grabbed some graph paper and made myself some patterns.
I thought a third tree pattern was a nice addition as well.  
And let the hand stitching begin.  
So I have a nice start.  I decided some houses were needed as well. I found a pattern sheet on line and had the pattern increased at my local office supply store by 200%.  So I am ready with this new house and two others I'll add to four different trees.  Who knows what else I might throw in there.

    Hi Donnalee! This looks like a fun project. I enjoy hand applique and need to get myself a new one. I work on it during the winter on my lunch hour. It's amazing how much I can get accomplished during 15 or 20 minutes each day. I look forward to seeing where these go. Thanks for linking up today! ~smile~ Roseanne

    Looking good! I've been stitching easy little house blocks together and decided that I should add some trees as well. Thanks for the inspiration.

    This certainly looks like fun. I am collecting a hand appliqué pattern I want to try next year, this makes me itchy to start mine too!
