Coyote, let us know the update on how many blocks to make
since there will be less people. I made two of mine last night, and the first one was kinda sloppy, so I'm gonna keep going with them. The distraction is helping me. Hopefully the more I make the better at applique' I get.
I have never appliqued before and I would like to try one first before I commit to joining. My DH has a Dr.'s appt. tomorrow and then we have a funeral to attend Friday, so I will try to applique one Saturday. Wish me luck.
Lots of Luck! You will like applique. I don't "piece" very well, (none of them ever come out the same) but with applique I'm able to make all kinds of "pictures" and patterns. I've made a lot using my own designs.
ETA--pictures. All of these are of my own designs.
OH MY! Those are super! I've made 24 blocks - they are ready for machine stitching. I'm an "assembly line" lady, so I'm doing all the black stitches, then the reds, and so on. I don't mind keeping the extra ones, but it would be really great to have more variety. Love to all my fellow stitchers, Caroline
