Block C and some stitcheries


Good morning, It is Wednesday morning here and looks as if it might rain. The Maple tree beside the patio is being windblown and I can hear the chimes.. My granddaughter has come to spend the day and night. I need to get off the computer and spend some time with her. We're doing a devotional together and she loves to work in the craft room with me.
I have a new friend. Lee and I have been chatting back and forth with emails. I didn't realize there were other Stateside participants until she got in touch with me...So I had an idea...It would be nice to know where everyone is located. We could just add it to our signature at the end of our posts...I hope you will join me. I know many of you are Australian...Thanks!

Your finished block is very pretty, and great job on getting all those stitcheries done!

Your block is beautiful and you have been very busy with your stitcheries. I live in Ontario, Canada. I think I am the only one from Canada?

Your stitcheries look lovely, what do you back them with? They look very smooth.

Chooky Blue, to answer your question: Lee is a friend of Jennifer who posted for her on June 3rd. Lee doesn't have a blog but is stitching along with us. She lives in North Carolina, USA

Debbie, I am using a stabilizer for embroidery on machines. I don't have the brand name right now but I bought it at a quilt shop...At first, I was using one called Silky but it was too much like paper. This one is more like interfacing..I also use this for applique on my machine when I stich around it... I couldn't find the product Chooky is using here in my area....I trace with a water soluble pen so after I cut the piece, I wash it off and blot it between towels-then I iron it when it dries. Thanks for the compliment.

Lovely block Mama Bear. Great idea with the "where we are from". I'll do that next time too.
