Batik Bowls with Borders
Batik paper pieced wall hangings.
Today is the final day of the Bowls with Borders blog hop and I hope you enjoy my creations! I had only tried paper piecing one time before this blog hop and really enjoyed working with Regina’s beautiful pattern and clear directions. I will definitely do more paper piecing!
I used Regina’s applique leaves and stems and then used my Sizzix Big Shot to cut out the flowers. I then appliqued them using my Vintage 15-91 Singer with a freemotion wiggle stitch.
Here is the back of my wall hanging, it is on a new Ackfeldwire pedestal frame and topper that I purchased from Fons & Porter.
Here is another small one I did with just one bowl. I like the delicate look of this one.
I used all batiks and my Sizzix Big Shot for the flower and leaves.
I want to thank Regina for making such a fun pattern and sharing it with those of us who participated in the blog hop. You can buy her pattern here, it is called Piling-Up!
Both of your bowl mini quilts are gorgeous. I love the choices of fabric. The applique really makes them outstanding. The solitary bowl with the flower is particularly lovely. Your quilting complements them beautifully.
What a great set of bowls! Your stand is just wonderful!!
Connie — I just love them — you always do such a nice job !
Thanks for sharing.

Connie I know I'm late but wanted to tell you how much I enjoyed seeing your bowls. I especially liked the way you added flowers and the colors you chose – really lovely. blessings, marlene
Oh I love both! And that small stand is sooo cute!
It's stunning. Your photos are so nice too. Thanks for sharing!
How pretty! I love the quilting and curved top on the first piece.
Your creations are beautiful and so original! I love them, especially the dark green wavy stitching around your vines and leaves.
These are both beautiful!

Your bowls are fantastic Connie, love how you did the applique. Thanks for sharing!
HI! Connie,Your wallhanging Bowls with Borders is absolutely beautiful,and your quilting is amazing. All the bowls and flowers are lovely .Nice setting to share.
Beautiful and eyecatching! The curved top gives your bowls elegance!
The flowers are so well done!
Wow! I love your little minis. I especially like the color scheme and curved top of the stacked one. Ihaven't tried using my Sizzix to cut out applique shapes yet. Do you do anything special to the fabric like starch it or iron it to freezer paper?
Oh, so pretty! So creative & lovely!! Thanks for sharing your beauties!!
WoW! Both of your minis are gorgeous! I love the colors scheme you used on your small stack of bowls. Great quilting! Purple is one of my favorite colors and your bowl and flower are beautiful. Both of your background fabrics you used are awesome. Love your hangers also. Thanks for sharing your projects with us. Super job!
Adorable little minis.
OMG these are over the top gorgeous!!! I love your photography too. The shape, the colours, the quilting and the piecing-all are beautiful. Thank you so much for your inspiration.
As always, Connie, you do amazing projects. I love both of yours. The flowers on both are so well done, your quilting – fantastic, the oval top is so unique and sweet, your colors perfect…I could go on… Just wonderful!
Connie, Those were worth waiting for! Love them. Congratulations on being picked as the top one for the day. I do love the stand too. The Batik really works great with your projects. Your quilting is just beautiful. Thanks for sharing.
I love these! The flowers look amazing and I love all the batiks! Every time you mention your 15-91 Singer makes me think of the one my sister has that was my grandmothers. I don't think she would notice if I slipped it out of the cabinet and brought it home with me. 🙂
Your bowls with borders are absolutely stunning. The quilting, colors, embellishments, and finished work are wonderful. Thank you for closing out this last day of the blog hop with an amazing project.
Love, love, love the flowers, and blown away by your quilting. Beautiful!
connie, I knew yours would be awesome and they are. what a neat hanger. thanks for sharing.
Oh, Connie! Your bowls take my breath away! They are gorgeous!
Great job! I love both versions, they are very pretty. Thank you for sharing.
Wow, I love both versions! The machine quilting is great and your color choices are perfect! I can't decide which is my favorite, glad I'm not judging 🙂
OH, your bowls are wonderful!! How cool that you made it to fit that frame, which is cool too btw. I especially liked you single flower/bowl, There's just something about it that is so serene and calming. I'm not normally a purple person, but due to daughter's love of purple am exposed to it, a lot, so I've seen a lot, and your use of it is perfect!!
Das sieht ja ALLES toll aus, die Quilts, die Aufhämgung und der Fotohintergrund!!!
LG, Gudrun
Wow! Those are beautiful. Love the off center bowls with the curved top and the batik fabric is lovely. Thanks for sharing.
Beautiful work! Great job! I love your bowls!

Gorgeous Connie!
Both of these are true works of art. Love the curved top of the first one!
I love both of your quilt. The flowers add such an elegant touch!
Both of your quilts are so very lovely! I like the free motion wiggle stitch. Your fabric choices are beautiful. This is the first time I've seen the round top stand. It's really nice.
Outstanding mini quilts as usual! I love how you added flowers.
Vicki @ Quilting Lodge
Oh my! Beautiful mini quilts – outstanding work!
Lovely bowls.
Britta
Love your bowl and I expected nothing less than neat and creative.
Oh my…….you really gave it your all. The arch top piece is so different and they're both stunning.
Very nice, Connie.
Love the stand.
And love how creative you were with these.
I would have been very tempted to quilt the beige background by retracing the print–I guess that's just one more indication of my affinity for feathers, even when they are not exactly feathers! 8-D
Wonderful! The fabric, the stack (s), your flowers, love the zig zag on the petals, and your quilting oh and the curved frame stand. Oh, so many ideas. Just lovely to gaze at. thank you

Beautiful bowls! Judith, Texas
Lovely. Love the stand. Makes it really special.
I'm loving your bowls and then you did the FMQing on your 15-91 blew me away. Then questions started jumping around in my head. That is what I want to do with mine (15-91) if I can ever get it to sew right. My question is what kind of foot do you use? I have probably read or seen it on your blog but I can't seem to remember anything anymore! Take Care
Oh my gosh Connie! I LOVE your bowls quilt. Beautiful. And you KNOW I just ADORE the purple one. Wow. I really love that one.
You made beautiful projects with the bowls pattern. Congratulations on being chosen as one of the top two. I love the quilting. That is on my list to try and maybe with some practice I will enjoy it.
The colors and the details are amazing on both of your projects. You do beautiful, beautiful work. Thank you so much for sharing your work.
Beautiful job on the bowls Connie! Especially the fact that it was your first paper piecing attempt, I'm impressed! I like the added flowers.
Well Connie, you've done it again! I just love your Bowls quilts :*) The first one with the rounded top is very original and I love your FMQ wiggly lines!!! And the second one with the single bowl – how sweet is that? It is absolutely one of my favorites!
Great idea to make one for you tabletop frame. Beautiful and original.
Your mini quilts are gorgeous! I'm not sure I could pick a favorite…they are both so lovely. Your quilting and applique work is stunning too! Thanks for sharing your creations!
lovely work!!
Oh Connie, you did a marvelous job! I'm so impressed! To be honest, I've been a little iffy on the bowls (I mean, honestly, we don't all have to be in love with *everything*, right?!) … but yours are gorgeous and I love how you've presented them … the arched top makes it! Brava! 🙂
wonderful work on both blocks!
Good Morning my dear…sew nice to see you in all of your glamour…YOUR bowls are perfect, your setting, your colours, your quilting..all deserving of our top contributions. Not surprising either…we almost come to relish what will Connie do next lol. Thanks for being a great hopper, quilter and friend…

Hi!! They are both very pretty!!!! Thank You
I like your unique approach. Your bowls are lovely. Beautiful colors and gorgeous stitching. I love my 15-91!
Connie, your quilts are pieces of art. One little pattern and so many beautiful creations…love the purple one, would look perfect with my 'recently' finished UFO….my purple log cabin quilt, I may have to make myself another bowl and add a flower or two. Your fmq is wonderful. Thanks for sharing, happy stitching, Pauline
Very pretty. I love the delicate look of these.
Wow, they turned out beautiful! It's amazing how many different quilts came out of the same pattern!
The stack of bowls is great, but the purple one and flower is the best. You have been a great cheerleader for the bowl hop…..and they saved the best for last.

Hi Sara
Oh, WOW! Those are absolutely beautiful! The purple flower is very delicate looking and your stitching on both of them is amazing. Love them both! Thanks for hopping with us!
I love both of your mini quilts!! I hope one of them made the favorites!
These are lovely Connie , I especially like the last one, very pretty.
When did you change the name of your blog ? I must have missed a post.
Yours bowls have become excellent. A good idea – sometimes around on top. They look very good and are well presented in these stands, in addition still by the river. Splendidly.
Many greetings from Germany
Очень красиво !!!!
I love them both – can not pick a favorite! Love the new pedastal stand – lot's of fun design with that topper. Both very sweet with the added flowers and beautifully quilted.
I KNEW it would be amazing!!!
