Head over to Graphic 45 Blog today for chance to win some G45 goodies. They are truly one of the most generous companies! I LOVE working with them!
Today my Paper Applique Owl is being featured. It was such fun to make and I am excited to get to show it to you! I also finished up the Macaw from Saturday’s Ustream class (the Livestream Field Trip was blurred out…more on that later)
As I noted on the Graphic 45 blog, I used a similar technique in fabric for my quilts.
Here is a Raven quilt I designed in 2008.
Here is the Owl on the Graphic 45 blog
This is the finished Macaw from Saturday
The Garden Gate 2 pattern is FINALLY finished and should be up on my website by the end of the day. Some patterns just “fly” together others just don’t want to be hatched, this one was one of the latter! Thanks for being patient! You all are THE best!
Have an awesome week!!

Laura watched some of the video for the paper appliques, amazing how you freehand the cuttiing. I may have missed but do you work from a photo or a pattern of sorts?
So glad to hear the pattern will soon be available for the holiday doors. I am hoping to follow along with you as I try to make my own.

Laura, I am just dumbstruck over the owl! You continously amaze me with your artwork and the way you come up with these designs. I thank you for sharing your designs and patterns with us. When I finish one of your patterns, I feel like I actually created SOMETHING!!! And because of the way you print your directions and the videos, I ACTUALLY FINISH my projects!! Imagine that?!
Thanks again for the inspiration and for sharing. You are the greatest!
the Macaw turned out beautiful Laura. Each of these creations is exquisitely done.
