Hey ladies, busy weekend. We had our cheerleading carwash fundraiser (we made BANK!!!), had to get my younger daughter back and forth to work and then a bonfire party with the squad, then brunch with parents on Sunday. In between I worked on a wall hanging for Rhonda's 4th swap. I have always stayed away from fusible web for applique because I thought that needle turn applique was the proper way to do it. However it limits you on complex designs. One of the blocks for Barb had flowers on a pineapple block that were done with fusible web and the curves were perfect! So I decided to try it. The only thing I did not like was using Aurofil - it gave me fits and kept breaking. I switched to a lightweight poly thread and while it showed more than I liked, it was easier to work with and the FMQ should cover it. Take a look - I really like this!
