I have 4 McKenna patterns and some of the fabric and have never touched them. After buying them, my interest changed to modern quilting. They are beautiful works of art.

So fayzer, you should put them in the "for sale" category on this board as I am sure someone would want to take them off your hands for the right price.

I got the block with the otters, but have not done it yet.

I love her patterns too and found 5 of them for $7.50 each at the Sewing Expo in Minneapolis 7 or 8 years ago......Never got around to using them, and sold them on Ebay.....regretting that now..... but i do see her patterns (not the kits) on Ebay now and then, so keep checking there.....

A while back she had a big sale on her old patterns. She has retired a bunch of them, and I stocked up!Just enlarged parts of Sea Breeze andthe jelly fish for a new under water scene. Maybe whales in the background.

A friend bought an applique pattern (Accuquilt) from an LQS. She was concerned about applique coming off. The quilt store recommended covering the whole piece with some kind of netting, and quilting over the netting. They had one sample which didn't look too bad - the netting wasn't that obvious.

Has anyone else ever heard of this or tried it?

I used the blanket stitch on the otters and have another otter pattern. Would like for info on using netting. I could cut Otter out on Silhouette and have it ready to go.
