Mondays

Well it's Monday again and not much happened in the sewing room this weekend.  Went and got a

new look, my hair is much shorter, straighter, and darker.  I finally got rid of the grey!!

Well until next time,

What I've Been Working On

Well here's what I've been working on lately,

Hand applique!

I was given a quilt top bom from Joann's from 1999,

and thought I would give it a whirl!  I'm very pleased with

how it is turning out, my only other attempt at hand

applique is from when I took the beginning quilting

classes from my favorite quilt store!  Those classes were

about 3 years ago and I wasn't sure I would remember what

to do, but I have to say it's been fun.  One thing I did ask

when I decided to start this was what their preferred

thread is and was told it is Mettler cotton thread with

the silk finish.  This stuff is great for hand applique, when it

knots up, I can unknot it very easily.  This is the 5th block I've

worked on, I put the 6th one back for later since it has 16 small

hearts to applique, I'll save it for last and hopefully when

I'm much better at what I'm doing.

Well until next time, (hopefully not so long before I

get to post again)

It's been too long

I can't believe I haven't posted since 8/16.  I have been very busy getting some UFO's worked on, haven't taken any pictures to upload but should soon.  Hope everyone is having a great holiday weekend.  It's flying by to quickly.

Until next time,

Jodi
