Oriental, NC

Absolutely soggy day outside, so I got busy on the quilt.....


Got out all my new "tools" and started with the letter "A".

Very easy to cut these large pieces.

And then just started with the simple sewing.

All were straight seams until I got to the "I"....for this I did an applique technique.  I cut two cirlces and sewed them together.

Sewed them together - hard to see but I made cuts on one side, then turned this inside-out to make a finished-edged circle.

Then I got out my needle and black thread and carefully sewed the black circle in place with a blind stitch.  

 So here's one easy day's work.  Good fun on this rainy week!
