I've appliqued by hand all 25 of my Pickle Dish blocks to the background.
I had to piece the background fabric. I'm glad it is a collage. You can't really tell it is pieced. I love that Tim Holtz background fabric. It was on sale at 40 % discount at Hobby Lobby many years ago so I bought several yards.
Now I have to decide on fabric to use in the borders.
I'm making this unusual Pickle Dish quilt from the book Making Quilts by Kathy Doughty.
And sew on...
CELEBRATE! (my word of the year)
Nov. 14 - Finished a book! Smoked Out by Jeff Carson. It's a mystery thriller and page turner and #6 in the David Wolf series. Who killed David Wolf's ex-wife? Who framed David Wolf for the murder and why?
Nov. 15 - A beautiful supermoon, Beaver Moon, lit up the night sky.
Nov. 16 - Leaves! I really have the urge to rake up a pile of them to jump into. I would if they weren't so wet with dew. One of these days (hopefully!) I will rake some up and put in garbage bags to make leaf mold for the gardens.

Pickle Dish has been on my list for years. I never saw Kathy’s books or this layout. Congratulations on all the hand work and a beautiful collaged background.
