Another beautiful near end-of-summer morning to sit outside on the patio and stitch. The mornings tend to be more peaceful and quiet than later in the day. Sewing in natural daylight (shaded) is easy on the eyes.
Finally working on the last border. This is one of the last flowers to be stitched down. Edges were prepared using the starch and template heat-resistent method plastic. I learned mostly from watching Erin Russek and Kaye Buckley on youtube. Personally, it is more relaxing to have edges pre-turned and all I have to do is stitch.
Happy Sewing!

All the green of nature must be easy on the eyes too, as you happily hand stitch away, Jill. I didn't know there was such a thing as heat resistant template plastic. I like having all my edges turned under ready to sew onto the fabric, as well. Enjoy the game while you crochet away.
Wow…the last border! So pretty ! Great stitching to work on during the game. Gail
Your flowers are beautiful! I normally use freezer paper for my applique but I do fold the edges over the paper to establish a fold line. It is so much easier to stitch the edge down. Happy stitching!
The perfect way to enjoy the end of summer—peaceful stitching outdoors and productive crafting while watching the game!

Oh, my goodness... what a beautiful quilt this will be, Jill. Such striking colors against the black. I have no idea how to do applique, but I bet it takes great patience! Enjoy your October!
