Three day sew-in retreat

First off, three days into the lenten season, I haven't bought any fabric. So, so far I'm good!

I'm sooo excited about today.

Going to get my applique on and make a bold attempt to finish my Evening Bloom quilt top. Yes, this project has hung out in my UFO pile long enough.

I was horribly stuck on the applique method and I decided to switch the method and move forward. While I'll do traditional applique for the fan blades, the flowers will be raw-edge applique.  I know, it's probably a no-no to mix methods, but I just can wrap myself around the fusible interfacing turn out method that I started. It just wasn't working for me. (Hence the reason why it became a UFO).

Sometimes you just gotta add another method to the arsenal to get a project done.

I'm also hoping to demo some fun tricks with Mistyfuse. There was a lady at the guild meeting last week who never heard of the product and I was telling her about it. I'm hoping she'll be there this weekend. If you've never used the stuff, you're in for a treat. Mistyfuse is paperless fusible. That stuff is fun to play with. You can even make fabric from a Kleenex using the stuff! I kid you not!!!!

Been having some issues with my right hand. I'm sporting a splint. Of course, you know me. I can't let it go without some "bling". And yes, it had to be Kaffe!

 

I'm thinking this will make it's guild premiere... Just to be crazy! Stay tuned...
