There Has Been Progress...


I participated in this month's Friday Night Sew-In using it as an opportunity to get some more work in on SKoW...I had actually done a heap of the applique work over the last week or so having granted the project box resident status on the kitchen table (aka next to the heater!) and while I still have some applique blocks to finish preparing and stitch down Friday night's focus was to press, iron stabiliser to the back of and draw stitchery portions of the designs for the blocks I have already appliqued...

So now of out the 23 applique blocks 16 are residing in the block keeper, ironed and marked ready for embroidery...I'm happy with that effort...and the remaining 7 are all in various stages of the applique portion being prepared and/or started...

I'm not even attempting a photo shoot as there is way too much mess all over the table and if I clean the mess up it means packing up the SKOW project box so I'm not going to bother...

Happy Stitching...
