Julee Prose sends pictures of her "Blue Denim" applique. Julee Prose Blue Denim 2012 "It is all hand needle turned applique & hand quilted. I used the Legacy wool batting which allows better hand quilting. I free formed all the feathers on borders and around the wreaths and cross hatched vase blocks." She used the "Shade Garden Sampler" pattern that Shauna Christensen designed for our book Susan McCord. (See it over in the left-hand column.) Julee has a great stash of blues; it's a color she uses often. If you love blues you will want to be buying the reproductions in Minick & Simpson's Indigo Crossing for Moda, which is scheduled to be in shops soon. They did some wonderful reproductions of the traditional indigo resist prints. Here's a picture of them showing off their stuff at Quilt Market. I pirated the photo from the Fat Quarter shop blog. http://fatquartershop.blogspot.com/ Here's a link to the Indigo Crossings fabric at Moda: http://storefront.unitednotions.com/storefrontCommerce/search.do?searchType=keyword&keyword=indigo+crossing&emailAddress= And don't forget the indigos in my Morris reproductions The Morris Apprentice. Do a web search for Julee's other quilts by typing in her name and the word quilt.
