Basted -

 

 

Yesterday I loaded the batting and the top - 

 

For my Karma Churn Dash -

 

Basted them both to the backing - 

 

And tested the tension - which is OK as is - YAY!! - 

 

 

Then I played with the Interweave strips - 

 

Sewed one and put it and the other two up on the design wall - 

 

The jelly roll and charm pack are aptly named - Nostalgia - 

By April Cornell for Moda - 

 

And I think playing with these "old-fashioned" floral prints will be fun -

 

The strips aren't pressed yet - 

 

I'll wait until I have the final layout - 

 

Then I can press one strip up and the next strip down -

 

To alternate them and nest the seams - 

 

It was fun to switch between "quilting" and "piecing" for a bit -

 

I've been doing a lot more "quilting" lately - since I got the longarm -

 

And binding - and Scrap Cards - and Hearts - 

 

So I forgot how much I enjoy "piecing" -

 

Simply sewing one patch to another -

 

Then to another -

 

Creating something "piece" by "piece" - ;))

 

 

 

Talk to you later - gotta go - gotta sew -
