I have begun work on my new
applique piece...
.
It took me a WHOLE day just to
turn the seams on 6 stars...
Boy-oh-boyo !!
Those points are surely challenging!!
[For the past 2 weeks I have been
preparing the templates ahead of time]
Next I will make the circles
"Circular" hahaha
This is from a Jan Patek pattern
called:
"Moon Garden Stars"
I just love how whimsical it is..!!
BUT,
it certainly has a lot of challenges
for my newbie appliqueing
adventures...
All those
POINTS to be turned...😰😰😰
***********************
It is finally a glorious, warm and sunny
day-- so I am out on our deck
working on this
↓↓↓↓
I have begun hand quilting
my first applique piece:
"Basket of Flowers"
[another Jan Patek pattern]
I started out with a
little, short "quilting needle"
BUT
I could not grasp it well
enough to continue--
So, I am now using a Milliner's
needle;
it has quite a different feel
and I will have to
get myself used to
stitching with it..
******************************
I have made us potato salad
for dinner to go along
with our Chicken Tenders...
a real "Summer-y" feeling
dinner..;)))
I hope your day is a restful one...
OOPS--spoke too soon..👀😱😲😰
*************************
NOTE: Our Air Handler just died on us..
it made the most horrendous
sounds...
So, we are awaiting
a repair person..
hoping it doesn't get really
hot and humid until
this is fixed
[or s i g h...replaced!! $$$]
Maintaining a house
is never dull, is it???
