The past several months have passed in warp speed making me realize how fast life passes when engulfed in a crisis. In looking back I have no regrets, only thanks and praise to the Lord that He gave me cherished moments with Mom. But, now it’s time to get back to my dreadfully clean sewing room.
Can you believe it? No fabric piles and pieces on the cutting board. No little, bitty, threads all over the floor or partially started projects screaming for attention. Wouldn’t you label this picture as “Shameful”? Well, it's time to change it from sadly clean to a happy mess!
I want to learn to appliqué. Can you give me any suggestions? Websites, books, what to do or not? I do have Alex Anderson’s Hand & Machine Appliqué book and plan on starting there. Where I have been really inspired is reading Happy Days Quilting blog. Patricia does amazing work!
Sorry I have nothing to show you on my design wall, but brace yourself because I'm going to change that!
Taking one day at a time,
Penny
Thank you Penny, One of my favourite applique blogs is Erin Russek's its called One piece at a time, she has some excellent tutorials.
ReplyDeleteI can't wait to see what comes out of your messy sewing room!
I would also highly recommend that you check out Erin's blog. I was already an appliwue person, and her methods took it to the next level. Her tutorials are perfect for beginners as well.
