In case you are new to the world of large applique designs, let me fill you in. A large applique design is one which needs 2 or more hoopings, with the joining completed as you stitch, In the hoop. The beauty of my large applique designs is you can quickly create a 3D Animal Design much larger than your hoop, and then add them to quilt blocks, reading pillows or pretty much any item as you like.
. I loved the idea of the animals snuggling down in their quilt ready to be read a story. With my sample, I went with the idea of a Quilt within a quilt and used an UFO (unfinished project) – the simple Star and Moon Quilting blocks, I then added a ‘pillow’ at the top, then an added border. You could use any combination or background you like.

This is a Quilt design that you could really play around with - I'd like to make this Quilt again (when I get time) and have a crochet 'blanky' as the Quilt part - I think it would add a lovely texture. I decided on having just the Piggy reading a book, but you could play around with having all the animals sitting on the bed reading books. |

Or just use the animals with the book design for very cute cushions |

INSPIRATION
Less than a week later and Darina has made this adorable Flannel Quilt - how soft and snuggly it will be!
Darina used the designs from our Hearts, Stars and Circle Quilting set for the inner quilting
The stars as the 'pillow' and the circles in the centre of the Quilt
Liz shared her Storytime Quilt on our Facebook Group - The post was a video and showed in more detail the 3D elements with the animal Ears and Book not stitched down - AND... how cute Liz added a saying on the back of the Book that can be opened and read - very very cool idea.
Doris shared her Storytime Quilt - The 'quilt' is a pre-purchased Quilt which Doris has stitched the Storytime Animals too. Such a quick way to make a stunning keepsake quilt.
