I absolutely loved this wall hanging when I saw it in a magazine ad and had to get the book with the pattern. The book is “Buttonhole Stitch Applique” by Jean Wells. I loved the folk look of the patterns.
The background is pieced, then all the appliques are fused down and buttonhole stitched in place. Some of the pieces are machine appliqued down, but I found this was a good portable piece to take on vacations, etc., so I did a lot of hand buttonhole stitching as well. It is machine and hand quilted. I added two cats to the cabin scene so my cats wouldn’t feel left out.
