Today we are sharing our Winter Tree Applique Block. Although it may seem rather stark and boring, I can relate to our leafless winter trees, contently hibernating, yet at the same time preparing for their busy growing months that loom just around the corner. Like all of our applique blocks, our Winter Tree was made to …
There was no white Christmas this year. Those of us that live in the Northern United States, like Michigan, tend to feel cheated when our Christmases aren’t white. It’s what we’ve come to expect after all. It’s what “they” sing songs about, center movies around, and it is the quintessential scene on the vast majority …
Here is the fourth and final applique from the December Applique Blocks Collection. As always, the Gingerbread Tree Applique was designed to fit on a 6″ x 6″ block, but it can be reduced or enlarged to meet your needs. We hope you and your family can find many ways to use this collection, …
Here is the third applique from the December Applique Blocks Collection. As always, the Gingerbread Star Applique was designed to fit on a 6″ x 6″ block, but it can be reduced or enlarged to meet your needs. Since I designed this, I was thinking they would be so cute to reduce and turn into …
Although this is part of our December Applique Blocks, it can be used any time you need a whimsical stocking and you can make it with or without the “cookie”. It was made to fit a 6″ x 6″ block but it can be enlarged or reduced to meet your needs. This could easily be …
Over the years Michelle and I have done many projects that actually haven’t wound up on Wee Folk Art. Usually, we just get too busy to worry about our cameras or sometimes we’ve had other plans for our projects, and we haven’t included them on the blog. One of these projects is a collection of …
I can’t believe how quickly time scurries by… Four years ago we shared our Advent Celebration with our readers. It is a four week long program and each week we focused on a different theme: Week 1 – Gift Giving from the Heart, Week 2 – Symbols of Christmas, Week 3 – Celebrating with Family, …
I have always loved sunflowers, I think that is why I love Vincent Van Gogh so much. To me sunflowers help make that transition from summer to autumn. We have many feeders in our yard, and we have found over time, the medium ground sunflowers are enjoyed by all our birds, from the smallest finch …
I still have the Wisconsin grandbabies at the house so this will be a quick post. Pumpkins have become iconic… representing all the wonders of Autumn. Here, we have two stacked pumpkins, ready for picking. Whether we use pumpkins for jack-o-lanterns, for baking, for soups, for seeds or just for decorations, come autumn, you can …
Here’s a collection of October Appliques… more cheery than scary… but just right for Halloween! In previous years we have shared the Black Bird and the Black Cat Applique Blocks. Over the next two weeks we will share the directions and patterns for the Stacked Pumpkins and the Cheery Sunflower Applique Blocks. And, for those …
One of the things I love so much about Folk Art is how it reduces things to their simplest forms… plus that extra dash of whimsy. Many of the projects on Wee Folk Art are in that style, including this very simplistic Autumn Tree Applique Block. Although using very simple shapes, this tree conveys …
I love serendipitous occurrences. Case in point… Monday night I got an email from one of our readers. It said: “I’ve been a fan for sometime. Thank you for the beautiful work. I get so much inspiration from your site. I’d love to see a Flamingo Applique. Any chance??? Angela” Sitting next to my keyboard was …
