Yeah, right. I absolutely have been taking too much time off, lately. And once that pattern establishes, I have a terribly difficult time getting back on track. So, after the better part of a week of silence, here I am to share a bit of stitching news.
DH and I have been watching season 3 of The Crown. We enjoy it so much. The cast changed significantly from seasons 1 and 2, and that took some getting used to, but we are all good now. We watched the episode about the Apollo moon landing last evening. I don't know how far behind we are, or how many more episodes remain.
When we settle in for an evening of television viewing, I try to work on my Lake Effect applique panels. Here are some update pictures. This is the bottom panel of the outer border. They are really long and narrow, so I cropped off a bit to make the picture work better.
I will link up now with Slow Sunday Stitching over at Kathy's Quilts. It has been awhile since I have checked in with those talented ladies. (I have the attention span of a squirrel.) There are some beauties on display this week, so go have a peek if you are so inclined.
Have a great week, Peeps! Turkey Day is approaching fast!
Happy Quilting, Friends!
Beautiful!
ReplyDeleteIt's so awesome when you find a technique that works well for you!
ReplyDeleteEnjoy your slow stitching!
I'm finding the Crown season 3 much slower and more disjointed than the previous seasons. I will stick with it and hope it gets better.
Back basting is the best technique on patterns like you this. I understand how easy it is to get out of the "working on a quilt" mode and it does take an internal button to click on and "get with the program"! I am just now getting back after the cataract surgeries. Happy Thanksgiving
ReplyDeleteYour applique is quite pretty.
