Hi all, I received an e-mail today from one of my angels. Her name is Barbara and I hope she will be joining us soon. Come on, Barbara, join in.

In her picture she showed me a "mistake" she made while sewing and watching TV. She was doing machine applique and used the blanket stitch backwards. I love the look of it and may use it myself at some point. I call it the Barbara's stitch. What do you all think?

I think it is lovely!

oh wow, could you imagine with a contrast thread on a kids quilt, or an ombre varigaited thread. with batiks, the possibilitis are endless. Great Mistake

that is what i wanted to do the other day. flip my blanket stitch! rats.

......and that is how new and beautiful stitchery ideas are born....... I love it. Gotta try it out. Looks great! Come on, Barbara, join in! We need you.........

Nice mistake!

I think it looks great! Sigh, I wish my mistakes would turn out that well. lol.

I am going to try it!!

Nice looking mistake! Wish mine looked that good!

I really like it; and her piece is beautiful!
