Please add the link where the Quilt Along is originally posted even if it's not your Quilt Along.  Hostesses appreciate when you share their Quilt Along, so please share!  This linky will be open through October, at which time I'll start one for 2019.
 
Even if you don't quilt ,it is always nice to see what others are doing, And it is free,
I am just learning quilting, I do the applique QAYG method for right now.
Fun to do some thing different from my doll making.
Always have a doll or 2 going though :)

Home Sweet Home Stitchery


I have been busy ! Since it is The Season HoHoHo !
I finished my "Home Sweet Home Stitchery " Pattern by Jenny of ELEFANTZ.
This is my first time at Appliqueing and Embroidering  

The Home Sweet Home is a series of 10 stitchery's and Yep have plans to Stitch all ten of them,
I am enjoying my time with the wonderful colorful pastels threads, In the evening my sweet hubby likes me to next to him as we watch TV, I sit and stitch !!

I used a beautiful fabric that has sparkle in the blue back ground of the fabric, Could not get it to show on the pictures, 
I use a flour sack Tea Towel and sewed a pretty edge on to it, 

Beginning #1:On this Home Sweet Home Stitchery is the First Block,
I used a transfer pencil traced the reversed side of the pattern,
I am not to sure I like that method.  The markings have disappeared  as they were suppose to.
Please click on pictures to enlarge
If you enlarge this picture you can see some of the sparkle in the fabric.
Here I am centering the Stitchery on the flour sack Tea Towel.
Holding the Tea Towel as Hubby takes a picture
None of the pictures came out as good as they should have, But just wanted to share and 
I am proud it is finished ! Now on to the next one, 

I just Love and Adore Jenni, She is so up lifting and is so giving of her talent,
