WOW Wednesday

Judy and I have finished Block #9 for our Antique Wedding Samplers. There was a lot of appliqué in this block!!

I used a little trick on the centre. I thought this bird looked a bit wishy washy so I drew over some of the lines with a brown permanent marker.

    Hey Carole!! My goodness! But you have been so lucky to get so much done recently! I have been very busy with family...two graduates and parties and such that go along with these milestones. Not much sewing from me lately, but I will get out my needle today! Thanks much for the inspiration. I am so glad to have time to visit blogs again! Love the way you did the stem with machine to save time. Can you tell on the finished piece? Nice time saving hint! Love your work. Keep it up!

    Love the fabric choices in your block, especially the little ring of flowers around the bird! So delicate and pretty! Well done touching up the wee bird. Isn't it amazing what a difference a little ink can make?
