It has been some time since I joined Slow Stitching Sunday, though I generally do have some handwork going most of the time. I have continued embroidery on the wool applique blocks from the well-aged Fat Quarter Quilt Shop Greenpiece BOM kit my husband bought me so many years ago. This week I finished prepping the last four applique blocks, which made me very happy. I used freezer paper for tracing and cutting the patterns, which worked very well.
I got the stem and small bud stitched down this week, and am working on the large flower center. This one was finished today, the tiny berries and stems:
Binding on this pillow cover also got finished.
This is a block from the Fall Dash Quilt by Sherri McConnell. I made two pillow covers from the pattern in American Patchwork and Quilting magazine October 2019. I love churn dash blocks of any kind! All fabrics were from stash.

Wool applique pretties are always lovely. Yours is particularly so. Love the pumpkin on your churn dish pillow; it is beautiful. Your pillow is a lovely finish!
I think wool applique really lends itself to fall quilts.
Churn dash always appeals to me, too, and I love it with a pumpkin in the center.
Your wool applique stitches are so uniform! Just lovely! What a good idea to use freezer paper for making the pattern.
