Applique Greeting Cards

So I'm totally new to this blogging thing but thought I'd give it a shot since I love to share my ideas/opinions with others.

I am currently a full time student and also employed full time so I don't have much free time to quilt anymore. A few weeks ago, someone I cared about passed away suddenly and unexpectedly. He was always challenging me to step out of my comfort zone and on the day I found out about his death, I did.

I have always been afraid of applique quilting, but in the spirit of honoring his memory, I decided to do something small. I found a template online and did my first piece of applique- a two piece cupcake on a 6 in square. It ended up being so cute that I sewed the squared directly onto some cardstock.

If anyone's interested, I can post a tutorial later but for now you can just enjoy the cute picture. :)

Happy Quilting!
