London

Hi Everyone I am having a great time visiting my son Peter, in London. My eldest son Derek and I came over together. It's been wonderful to see Peter, I have missed him so much since he came to London to work over a year ago.Over the last few days we have taken in the sites of London.

There is such a lot to see, the weather has been lovely. I hope you enjoyed my pics. Happy stitching Sharon

Vintage Nine Patch Quilt

October 29, 2021

The inspiration for this quilt came from a small picture of part of an antique quilt, made with the nine patch block. I think what inspired me was the use of colour and of course the wonderful use of the flying geese blocks in the border.
I hope you enjoy my pictures of this quilt.

Thread choices for invisible machine applique

Invisible machine applique seems to be mostly associated with either smoke or clear monopoly or nylon threads. When starting my journey with invisible machine applique these are the threads I used too. Now of course there are so many wonderful threads available, many of them suitable. The only thing that may be of concern is that you need a variety of colours, with monopoly smoke and clear threads there are only two colour choices, therefore limiting how many colours you need.
