I think I was put off by the "stop sign"-shaped block settings. (And I'm usually overwhelmed with too many hand-applique projects!) I love your idea of fusing/machine stitching...I've tried that method before, but I think I wasn't using a good fusable - my edges looked a little threadbare. Yours look awesome! Do you use a shorter machine stitch?<br /><br />Have you seen the 2011 one? I think it has animals on it. I'm usually a little discouraged by the ribbon embroidery they use to embellish, as I don't know how to do that...I have to remember that I'm usually "Little Miss Change-the-pattern" and that I don't have to finish the blocks their way. I love your idea of making the barn blocks into squares!<br /><br />You are inspiring me to give the barn calendar another look...my Dad's 80th birthday is coming up. I might at least experiment with your method to try and make the barns/structures on his homestead into quilt blocks.<br /><br />Thank you, thank you!<br /><br />In stitches,<br />Teresa :o)<br /><br />In stitches,<br />Teresa :o)Teresa Rawsonhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/12198469746467771421noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8178890134485229410.post-44303211402843204132010-09-13T19:53:26.144+10:002010-09-13T19:53:26.144+10:00oh I love it...but then I am one to leave quilts j...oh I love it...but then I am one to leave quilts just sit forever before finishing them too.annhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/09390512185618185875noreply@blogger.com
