Prep Work
2 Attachment(s)
Off to the quilt shop this morning. It ate up about three hours and $200, but I really need to replenish my 1895 batiks. Spent the afternoon tracing flowers and veggies. I did two sets of the flowers for two different quilts. Then trimmed around the fusible pieces so I don't gum up too much extra fabric when I fuse them down. I have snapdragons, hollyhocks, sunflowers, cosmos, 3 kinds of peppers, carrots, beans, tomatoes etc. Now to trace the larger pieces and get them ready to fuse.The prep work is what takes my time but at least I am making progress! This blogging seems to be helping with some accountability, at least so far!

it's ok to post that here too. i agree... prep work takes more time than the sewing sometimes. looks like it will be a great project

Great collection of 1895 batiks, can't wait to see the final project .

You may also want to 'window' your fusible appliques so they aren't so stiff.

When I get irritated at the prep work, I say to myself, "Enjoy the process." It helps.

I love the beautiful fabrics. Can't wait to see the finished quilt.

When you put your day into words you can see how much you really did accomplish! Isn't there a saying: it's all in the details!
