Just Because II

I don’t have the patience or eye hand coordination for hand work anymore, hence the cop out on appliquéing by machine with nylon see through thread. Hey, it works, it’s fast. Never mind that it really plays havoc with my machine’s tension.

Just Because

It Does Seem that I am

Joined at the hip to joinedatthehip designs, because here is another one.

It Takes a Village

Which is why I voted for Obama over Hillary.

This was done with that handy dandy new technique I picked up at one of our guild meetings. Paper Piecing with freezer paper and an iron. Rather than sewing through the paper and distorting your stitches when you pull them out, just fold freezer paper back and sew near the fold. Works like a charm, but I still think all paper piecing is a pain the you know where.

The Diane Gaudynski Class that Never Was

I had signed up to take a class on machine quilting with Diane Gaudynski (See Quilters can be name droppers too!). She cancelled due to illness, so what to do with the little sample requirement that I made up to use in class? Throw some embroidery on it and make it into a pillow. (another cop out- notice the machine quilting is just boring meandering. Hey, it's not my fault. If I'd taken that class you would see near trapunto like feathers and curves.)
