Which project ???

I love  holidays

its when I get a chance to play with all my sewing toys & beautiful fabrics in my stash cupboard..

So which project to play with ????

I have so many projects started…

 I am  so easily side-tracked with starting a new project.

 

 Is anyone else like this?

I am on 2 weeks holidays,

weather here is perfect for spending in my sewing room,

 currently foggy and 6 degrees C in the mountains .

So at the weekend I started looking at  my projects,

Do I finish quilting "Home of the Heart" quilt ?

Do I finish my daughters wedding quilt, Windflowers ?

(she was married in July this year..oops)

I’m up to finishing the embroidery

or

Do I finish the backing quilt for "Purple ladies and their cats"…

Its half stitched, all the ladies and cats & flower are finished.

&

I  also have the wall art pictures

Love, Hope Faith,

to finish, they are all appliqued

and

I have started stitching them down,  but not finished.

Then

I found a kit I had bought on-line from Shabby Fabrics about 5 years ago.

Vintage Valentine

I just love their site, I  have purchased a few kits from them.

This was the first quilting kit I had bought, and restarted my quilting journey.

I have had several attempts at starting this.

The main problem is that its hand applique

( I’m not a lover of hand stitching,

( “Purple ladies & their cats” was hand stitching that was enough hand stitching for me)

I have always been a machine sewer

but have tried several times to change my mind on hand stitching  to no avail.

I had hand sewn a few pieces on …

organised the folder with all the instructions,

 organised which fabric was going where….

My love of this project is still strong

so

I found myself  unpicking the hand sewing

 &

decided that to finish this project,

  it needs to be

machine applique.

I turned the pattern pieces over,

 retraced shapes,

  re-pressed fabric,

iron on double sided fusible webbing to each piece

and

made the first block.

Today   I’ll blanket stitch it down!!!!

Stay tuned to see if I get side tracked again .
