DESIGN WALL MONDAY - 9/5/11

Remember when I said I took a hand-applique class way back when??

The one where the little German lady said to me –

“Oh, you are left-handed!  I cannot help you.”

That one??

Well – that UFO was/is at Stage 7 – Floral Applique -

And I should have worked on it last month –

But I didn’t.

I got side-tracked by who knows what – good intentions and all that - doesn’t matter now.

Anyway - when Judy picked #11 for this month –

I got to thinking – (Yeah – there I go again – headache time! ;))

Because my Stage 11 stuff is -
Stage 11. Prepped - Pre-washed - Pressed - Ready to Cut - etc.

And Stage 10 is –
Stage 10. Cut and Needs to be Pieced - Not Started Yet - etc.

All I really have to do this month is CUT SOMETHING to get it up to Stage 10!!

I can do THAT!!

And then – I can work on the other one – right??

It’s partially done –

It’s BEEN partially done since 1997 –

I’ve been kinda working on it – on and off – mostly off – for FOURTEEN years –

Maybe it’s TIME!!

What do you think?

Of course – I could leave it for another six years to make it an even twenty.  ;))
(Inside joke for those of you who have been following BOB lately.)

Anyway –
I haven’t worked on it much since I showed you this rose last month –

But – here’s the bird’s nest -
I really like the fabric I found for the speckled eggs - 

This a REALLY BIG project for me –

LOTS of hand-work -  

LOTS of little fiddly pieces –

VERY time-consuming -

But I can’t let it overwhelm me –

I just have to bust it down and do one part at a time –

After I decide which part - ;))



Talk to you later – gotta go – gotta sew –
