LEARNING SOMETHING NEW...

Tuesday I attended a class at the wonderful shop where I purchased Ellie (my sewing machine).  I have always wanted to learn how to do applique with my embroidery module, and Hayes Sewing Machines in Wilmington, DE is the perfect learning environment.  The whole Hayes family is incredibly knowledgeable, talented, patient and SUPER friendly!  They make everyone feel right at home...which is why I travel 50 miles each way to take their classes!

Want a peak at my first two blocks?



I am making a Christmas Table Runner for my kitchen island. 

I still have 5 more blocks to applique and then I have to trim all 7 blocks before our next class.

FUN homework!

  1. Very pretty. I am looking forward to seeing the next five blocks and the finished product.

    God bless.

    1. Thank you, Jackie. It is so much fun! We got to see other embroidery machine applique in the shop. Oh, such BEAUTIFUL quilts! This may be one of my new loves and I can see future quilts including not only embroidery, but appliques, in every design!

  2. Lovely!!! It's fun learning something new, isn't it? That's what I live about quilting, there is always something new to learn and master.

    1. Thank you, Amy! If I could I would take classes every single day! But, when would I have time to sew?!?!?
