Flowers, Grapes and pomegranate

This is about my table runner's name (vine fruits)I found the patterns and instructions in this great book

last weeks I added the flowers , Grapes and blueberries using my new  rods done by Rosa, they are great tools which makes an easier life of yours doing the applique.

picture from google showing the rods

Then I added the pomegranate , first  the middle section which contains the pomegranate pieces to the yellow piece 

then to the big red part which is the peel, and now one piece i added to the background 

As the picture showed I cut the middle of the Vaseline tissues  and kept it as a ring inside to avoid extra stiff parts.  

 Here are Grapes upside down. 

And today the border is ready , triangles fixed to  a paper foundation 

 When added to the runner . Tadahhh

Add 4 more squares to the corners.

Now I have to add the patting , backing to be nearer to the final stage . 

VINE FRUITS

A new project is going to start with other couple of friends Rawya that I already did a very nice paint box quilt with her last year

Rawya's 

mine 

with Asma , a new friend full with energy and very helpful , we also welcome other participators as well.

NOW, let me tell you about our new project It's a combination of quilting and Applique table runner took from this book

 Book Trailer 

 and its called Vine Fruit .

When you see the pattern you will guess that  Deborah Kemball chose to put all her favorite fruits in one pattern.

I chose most of my fabrics  from my stash , even though Rawya sent me this great site which can help with choosing colors that go along with the backgrounds and each other.

Okay that's all for today, 

I never made a whole applique project, but I feel such an enthusiasm to try something new, and different Techniques . 

Well, as the plan, we started on 17 of January and we have a week to collect our fabrics , some friends are very new to such art .

I chose mine here and started to learn and read about many tips of appliques.

Assma from "Vine Fruit Group" gave me already a roll of Wonder- Under to work with ....so thank you . and I think I will use more than one method in this project to add 3 dimensions to some parts of the runner.
