So I have started to dip my toe back into Applique again
I flirt with it every once in a while
and my past efforts have turned out
allright buuut, nunghh......
It strikes me as blocky and meah The turtle is nice though
There is a bit more but we won't go into it here
I found this kit as a BOM from an online shop
Meaning to do it whilst I ferried my MIL to her appointments
I finished the 32 orange peel 3.5' blocks
in a variety of parking lots, between running shopping chores
and waiting on Robin to finish seeing whatever doctor had her next
Then they sat around
Waiting
for another year, or so.
I took the sun parts to Chicago with me in march so I'd have something to do
I finished those pretty quickly
But I had the wind by then
You know,
That undeniable "Something" that gives you
the desire to keep going until it's finished
April has been busy with all sorts of other things too
Like our Quilt guilds bi-annual Quilt show, which was a roaring success by my count of oohs! and aahhhs! whilst standing as a door monitor, stewardess and goer.
I have a bunch of projects that I am working on between,
A new BOM in felt from SueSpargo which you can't see, as per the instruction I am not allowed to show it on line! well pooh!
It's really cute though!
also the lampbox which is mostly done with has one panel to go
And a few little embroidered things that scratch that new itch.
I finished the piecing parts of the top
and even got the sun even more or less
Some of the points got lost, but I thought it more important that, the round part fit properly.
That cross where the 4 fabrics of the sun come together would have been waaay more distracting!
Had it been off by even a smige, as that is where your eye goes first, it would have taken away from even the most precise of applique work.
So that part is done, it's off to the outside panels,
which are all applique.
Lets see how long this one takes me.
