Still Plugging Away
Happy Sunday!
Just wanted to drop a quick note to show I'm still plugging away at these! The embroidery shouldn't take long.
For the tags on the suitcase, did you embroider the labels and then appliqué or vice versa?
Looking great Elisa! I appliqued first and then stitched the place names...but I'm using blanket stitch rather than needleturn :) Keep up the great work.
lovely blocks..........I haven't done the suitcase yet but would probably put the block together and then stitch.......but then I am machine appliquing...........
and we love seeing your progress! I cheated a bit - I had small photos of my favourite places - printed them onto printable fabric and stuck them on with vlsiefox and then machine appliqued!

Looks great Elisa!! I think I stitched it all down and then did the embroidery ... needle turn :)

Hi Elisa, your blocks look great. I embroidered whilst after appliqueing but I didn't have any stabiliser or anything behind it so it was easy to do.
