What a productive afternoon I had on Sunday! Block 4 of Stitched By Me (sewing brings joy) by Lynette Anderson Designs was pieced together, the stitchery design was been traced and the appliqué templates were traced onto appliqué paper, fused to the back of the fabric, and were ready for me to play with those aplique tools. Sunday evening was spent stitching the applique shapes into place, then I packed my sewing bag ready for Monday evening and sewing group tonight...

...I managed to get bias stems stitched into place (I used a few spots of Roxanne's basting glue to hold them in position rather than pins, and used a neutral coloured Bottomline thread for the applique stitches. The flowers are made from wool felt that I'd bought from Eternal Maker, and were made using a fusible webbing on the back, then stitched with blanket stitch DMC embroidery thread in a matching colour. Finally the flower centres are added - these are very small Suffolk Puffs, appliqued by hand and embellished with some embroidery stitches. The fabrics for this project are from Lynette's My Hearts At Home collection, and kits for this are available over on Lynette's website here http://www.littlequiltstore.com.au/shop/product/stitched-me-kit/.
