Rose Prairie Quilts and Farm

 It has been a perfect day to relax and enjoy some piecework. The temps are in the 90's with humidity to go along with it so its been an inside day. Was doing some sewing on the machine for awhile earlier but I'll show that tomorrow. Then some appliqueing, something I haven't done much of for sometime.  Have 12 blocks completed out of 42 Here is my stack of ones that need to be stitched down. I like to press my edges under and then use glue to attach the pieces to the background. Its water solvable and does a quick and great job of keeping them attached until I can get to them. Then I switch to crocheting when I need a break from stitching. Started the bag Wednesday and I'm close to being done but I'm not sure if I have enough yarn. Think I'm going to have to see what in my stash that will work and look good. Hoping your Sunday is going as well as mine.

I had very briefly mentioned a product I use when I do an invisible style machine applique the other day and I am going to go into some detail on how. I do this needle turned look on my sewing machine. I have not invented anything new I was shown this technique by my friend Pam of  Sager Creek Quilt Shop . Also if you want to find any of these products you can purchase them there online from her shop. OK  let me get started here, I am taking part of a bee over at S tash Bee  and in our hive we were asked to make Sunni a tree block so this is mine  To help me get the fabric to turn under is this paper by Ricky Tim. It's your pattern, template, you keep it on your fabric when you sew it down and you leave it in when done. When wet or washed it becomes a soft layer of polyester fibers.   You will also need a few other items. Paper and fabric scissors, pencil for marking, glue stick (acid-free & water-solvable) I like Elmer's school purple. It is smooth, covers
