Ok, I am very excited, I just spent the last three days doing bobbin work on the next 8 blocks (up to 12 on the schedule) and although I am all Bobbined out(lol), I can positively say that I am improving, yay! There was a LOT of bobbin work on these blocks, so I got good practice, it is amazing how hard it can be following a line, now I can get back to appliqué.

went and did a wee bit of fab shopping today...
<g> <g> <g>
the ladies were trying to guess what I was making while I was bring bolts to the stack on the table...
finally they couldn't stand it any longer and asked and I said "appliques".
They were wondering if I was making a bargello.
Well, now...after this is over there are going to be scraps...woo hoo,...what a nifty idea! :thumbup:

Aw. Thanks ladies for the kind comments.
Pat, yes, sewing on the back is a bit annoying, that is why I like to do it before my applique whenever possible as I have more control when it comes time to placing the applique pieces.
Mousie, show us the fabs, please :-D

My problem is that I hate having to stop to prep the next few blocks! I wish I had someone who did that for me so I could just stitch them!!! :lol: :lol: :lol:
Patty, thank you, actually this quilt was painted and I hand quilted the whole thing. I raffled it off so my daughter could be ambassador to People to People and she went to Australia.
A few years ago I had a student who went to Australia with People to People! It was an amazing experience for him! :thumbup:
Fabric painted but hand quilted.
