Hi Friends!
I'm so sorry that it's been 12 days since my last post. I just haven't been feeling well at all. I've had such low energy that I find myself resting a majority of my days. I've had my thyroid checked and all is well there. I just don't know what my problem could be! I've gotta start at square one and find out. I'm going in for a physical this Friday with a new doctor. At any rate, when I do feel a tinge of extra energy, I push to get a craft started or finished rather than blog. Please hang in there with me. :)
I finished my tote and I'll be sure to post photos of it. I also made a matching wallet that is just so fun! I've continued hand quilting my king size quilt and still find hand sewing very relaxing.
Another project that I began was my Sunbonnet Sue lap quilt! It's a mother-daughter project, which means MY MOM IS QUILTING! She hasn't quilted in over 15 years so this is a big deal. I'll share photos of her Sunbonnets as soon as she gets them up and going. We're learning a technique from Eleanor Burns that utilizes lightweight fusible interfacing as an aid for the appliqué to bond it before hand or machine stitching. I took some videos of my work today to share the technique. It's extremely fun and the results are just neato!
I don't know how to operate a movie making program yet, so I have two movies instead of one. My camera battery died. So SORRY! I hope you enjoy them anyways. :)

Thanks for watching and see you again soon!

Hi Tawnya! I once again enjoyed your video - or videos, in this case, lol. I like that technique you demonstrated. I'm not very good with hand stitching, and I'm not a quilter, but I think that method of hand applique looks easier than a machine method. Might be fun to applique something. I liked your owl fabric too!
I'm glad you enjoyed the videos. I could just kick myself for not plugging in the camera. I'll remember to do that next time.
Since I got a little practice in with the hand embroidery, I'm going to give it a go on the appliqué too. I hope you get started on some embroidery. It really is a fun activity - and sort of a "gateway drug". LOL One craft leads to another. You'll be crafting right along with me then. :)
