HAND, HAND, FINGERS, THUMB

Here's Step One of my new handwork project--I retired the hexies for a respite--and am taking a huge, deep breath and starting a Jan Patek applique kit...
And 

Step two:  still okay (breathe...relax your hands....)why does applique make me sooo anxious????

AND:

(Sorry for the wonky shot)--ready to baste all the 1/4" turn unders and then apply to the house this afternoon while watching the Red Sox.   

Here is a picture of the kit:--you can see that my "Y-seam (above pix) at the peak got cut off!  (Sigh--only so much fabric...) (never done one of those before...)sooo, it will definitely be a wonky old house, but mine, warts and all.  

What I like best about this picture is the bird on the flower--so cute and primitive...and so it goes.. yours in wonkiness....Julierose, La Blageuse
