Miss Tessie is obsessed with trees right now – if you follow my pinboards and have seen her picks you will believe me. So, still on the campaign of redecorating her room, this weeks project I was ‘made’ to work on had to include a tree…

So, we chatted, brainstormed and came up with a design IMG_1991Then Tess traced, cut, chose from this pile of fabrics, cut, peeled and stuck before handing it back to me….IMG_1992

To make it into this….tree  IMG_1978

She went to be feeling very pleased with herself – and my Tree!

Which now goes with this -

P1080551Which I think I showed you a while back.

It really didn't take too long – the final free appliqué quilting/stitching only took about an hour (I didn't background quilt – I wanted to but she didn't) – and was all just fused appliqué with free machine quilting/appliquéing  - really quite simple and no perfection expected!

I wonder what the next project she asks for will be? One day, if it ever gets finished we will show off her new room..

hugs for today

Helen
