Oh Barbara, your block is lovely!!! The pink in the corners really sets the applique off beautifully!!

[Margo C.]

OHMYGOSH! Barbara is absolutely glows!! I LOVE IT!

[Margo C.]

Margo, just so that you know all of your help the last couple of days with my questions about mitered corners did not go unused.....I practiced and practiced and practiced mitered corners today. Some were okay, some were good, I think ONE of them might have actually been great! :lol: However, I still need a lot more practice...but Thank you again!

Good for you Janice! Practice does make things get easier. In the February tutorial, I will show you another way to do mitered corners! :wink:

[Margo C.]

Barbara, your block is wonderful!

[Margo C.]

Very Beautiful! Love roses and your design! Bev

I've got all my leaf pieces cut out from the Stable Stuff. I have never used this before so it would be great if someone can tell me exactly how they do this.

[Margo C.]

Eileen, complete directions for using Stable Stuff in this project are in the TQS Classroom: learn/classrooms/

Margo, I'm doing them by hand so should I just put dots of glue away from the edge? I can iron the SS, can't I?

Yes, that is what I did.

Eileen, if you are doing them by hand, you just want to glue the SS to the back of the fabric, keeping the glue away from the edges because it will make the fabric stiff to put a needle through by hand. You can either use dots of glue or the glue stick. Either one will work.

Yes, you can certainly iron the SS, but it is not a fusible, so it won't stick all by itself!

Hope that helps.

I added my block in the Show & Tell section

Zarah, your block is beautiful :!: :!: I am very impressed with the fact that you dyed your own fabrics. :shock: That is not easy to do. I am looking forward to see the rest of your fabrics and blocks.
