March began and ended like a lion here. We ended with a mini ice storm and another icy slushy system is rolling thru today. I will say all the rain we have received is starting to melt the snow and I can see patches of ground beginning to emerge in my yard which is promising.
I have been sick with a cold that has been annoying this week. I still worked but it feels like it is on its way out. Work has been weirdly slow. It was the perfect time to be slow and let me heal up.
I am assembling several projects and getting close to some finishes. My granny square cardigan is being assembled into panels. I need to make a few more squares and I will be wearing it!
I am near the assembly point for my Fantabulous Scrappy Stars Quilt but I have the last difficult square. A tiny dresen plate.
So I am taking a raw edge applique class today. I want to master this skill. I need it to finish this quilt and my languishing UFO dear Jane.
I am off to pack for the class, get some coffee and hope my voice clears up to make a podcast about everything I am making!

Have fun at your appliqué course! I think what I do is raw edge appliqué – I fuse it down and do blanket stitch around. I learned from Fons and Porter back when it was still those 2 ladies. But I make up my own rules too, so I’m probably doing it all wrong

Colleen , I had a time in that class. I used frixion pen to trace my pieces and then realized the pen went away when infused the steam a seam to the fabric before I was going to properly cut the pieces out. We didn’t have time to sew anything and I forced a practice piece to try seeing and I got very tired and overwhelmed. However, learned several things and I am going to practice this raw edge technique and yes what you do is raw edge. I have two books on this and taken a class..I need to just practice it over and over to get it
