Time to learn something NEW!

Monday, February 2, 2009

I have wanted to use my embroidery machine to do applique, but have been intimidated. Today I found a great tutorial! (I love the internet!)

http://www.sewswell.com/applique_instructions01.html

So, now it is time to look for designs & get inspired on incorporating this form of applique into a quilt. (you can all start wishing me luck now) :)

Off to start another UFO!

I have never had so many as I do now!
