299557How fun she is, Loralye! I love your colour choices, too, they're some of my favourites. I like the way you did the quilting--is this what you were ripping out that you needed the tape for the other day? hee hee hee. I see you did the blanket stitch by hand, wow. I'm glad you decided to do this for yourself, what a cheerful, positive document of your journey! Hugs, Marji

52679quilting is such as personal thing & after I stitched all over the place I hated it! I spent the better part of this afternoon ripping out all of the stitches & in the end I decided on line quilting to show the wind & fluidity, I hope that I have succeeded in doing this.

The font I chose is Nordic & it is on my machine, the rest is a kit I purchased. It is both machine & hand appliqued, fusable & no fusable (it is such a hard element). All of the embellishments came with the kit including beeding needles WOW they are VERY sharp!
