The skin tone fabric I used you can see thru it, the arms are laying on top of dark material and you can see it. Yes I used iron on fusible, not sure I did it right but I did it the way I felt comfortable with. The tag that I made the wording is all hand sewed, just doing alot of backstitching. Really doesnt take long took me longer cause not being able to stand for long times. I did enjoy making this not looking forward to the sewing part though. The blanket stitch is going to take awhile to do, plus I still have to put the bottom on.

Good Day Quilters, so far we have 12 of us for this months swap. I will not be signing up again this month, still not able to do much shopping plus am having another manipulation done on my knee on the 3rd and I sure hope this one works.

Verna-I am so sorry your knee is still giving your problems! I hate this for you! I understand about being in pain everyday it gets old and depressing and you just want it gone. I live with it everyday and some days I can't even get out of bed so I totally understand where you are at right now. I will be praying that the doctors will figure out the best plan for you and get it done so you can live a pain free life!!! hugs to you my friend!!!

TexasTam: I am glad you mentioned those silicone rubber peel thingies. I ordered some to give away to those participating in my next swap as a gift. I was hoping they were useful! I have an embroidery sewing machine, so lots and lots of different colored thread in my drawers, and they DO get tangled quickly. Yuck!

Texastam- I really like my Olipfa lip-edge ruler. it acts like a T-square and hooks on to the edge of the cutting mat. It is my go-to ruler. I like my Fons and Porter ergonomic seam ripper. I have one in every room of the house. It isn't advertised as such, but it has a rubber end that also "erases" the loose threads.
