Appliques are so wonderful-looking on a quilt, they really can make a quilt look so homey and special. Appliques are not difficult to make, but you just have to shift gears a bit from what you are used to in traditional quilting. I recently found this awesome applique video tutorial by Fat Quarter Shop featuring Lori Holt, on YouTube, and I realized how easy it was to do appliques. What Lori does in this video is so simple and easy to understand, she uses templates from The Fat Quarter Shop, which are free downloads.

Since I lover experiments, I’ve alwaysnloved to create, paint, as well as cook and style food. I feel in love with DIY as soon as I discovered it and could not have been more excited when I learned I could share projects with people around the world. Taking photos is a passion of mine, as is design and painting with oils. I love holidays and celebrations, crafting cute little gifts and serving up at least one new recipe I am excited about.
