Friday Nights sew in and I have been busy
This is the first time I have ever sewn with Monofilament! As you can see it didn't work too well - I had problems with the tension.
This is one of the blocks I used my Applique Stabiliser on, and the reason I have taken a shot of it at an angle was to try to show you that the glue came out - no problems and the Applique Stabiliser has fluffed up and I guess turned to fiber...it does have a soft feel to it, and I am pleased with the result. The other 'bird' block is soaking overnight.
I did this also and I got all the applique sewn on ... a little better tension with the Monofilament this time...I wont wash this till its quilted and fiished. Now I will be sitting and staring to work out how to quilt it .
This is a closeup to show the sewing.
It's really great to know others are sewing along with me...all over the world!!

Really pretty little blocks!
how lovely are those blocks. Will be interesting to see the quilt finished.
I'm not so found of the monofilament, either. But I don't think the brand I tried was quality.
OHHH I really like the second block! What is the pattern, if you don't mind me asking? (like I need another project) Anyway... Looks great!
