My Center is Done

Yep, the center is done I will do the hand embroidery while I watch TV tonight.  I still have the leaves to make but when they are done I will have all the components to add the borders.

Step 4 so much fun

So, I have now ironed on all the freezer paper templates onto the back of the fabrics.  Now I will use my funny looking appliqué scissors to cut out around the templates.

Sorry for the Interruption

The hubby took me Christmas shopping.  I am very happy to say that I am ALMOST done.  :)

So, I will get back to my weekend project starting NOW!  lol

Weekend project step 1

I have scanned and printed my pattern sheet.

Next cut them a part and staple them onto 4 layers of Reynolds Freezer Paper.  Now, I will go and cut the out and iron them onto the back side of my chosen fabrics.

Weekend Project

I thought it would be fun to let you follow along while I work on a small project this weekend.  It is call, “Butterfly Garden” designed by Kay Murphey.

It’s a 25 inch square wall hanging with nine patch blocks with appliquéd butterflies and flowers.

I will be using a few of my 1930 reduction prints and a small white on white. 

I am going to try and update you every hour on the progress.  Let me know what you think. 

I have met a wonderful author
