Hi Marie! She is so pretty. I like your little t-shirt design. I want to do that with some of mine, but I will no longer use the sticky solvy with the embroidery machine. I am just about ready to try again. You inspire me.
Mostly, Marie is pretty grumpy! She is a "my way or the highway" girl!
A while back, I ordered a roll of wash away stabilizer that looks almost like Saran Wrap. It isn't sticky, and can be a bit tricky to align, but it works really nicely to stitch with.
I am really hoping to join in with PPV in March. I might start with the blocks for this month and then go back to Jan and Feb in the off weeks. I am kind of tempted to copy your halloween theme, but I think I am going to go with the repro fabrics you sent me on a white background like your original. It's just so crisp and cheery.
Ugh, so sick of things breaking. Every winter I am always surprised and relieved when the furnace actually works, lol. It's the original one from 1940 or so. Apparently Chrysler made some really heavy duty long-lasting furnaces, lol.
It's March! Woo! Seriously, I know you have the wine quilt to do first, but then, PPV. Whatever you do with it, I know it will be lovely.
This is a very short list of all the crap we've had to replace. I didn't mention that my tablet died (the RAM went kaput) or that Big E's laptop had to be replaced earlier in the month. Also, there were the brakes on my car. I mean, REALLY? No list making, it's too depressing...
I would love a holiday from adulting. That would be GREAT!
You're so welcome for the tutorial. The week I shared it originally was right before my dad got sick. It's nice to have it out there for people to enjoy now. :)
I really need to show my PPV blocks again.. I am caught up, though I'm a bit uncertain about my fourth block... I might want to make it over again. The purple fabric in yours is really neat.. I like that it kind of disappears and reappears here and there when the black blends into the black background.
The shirt looks great.. it's a while since you've shown a shirt that you've reworked in some way, so it's nice to see you back at it, even with something as simple as an embroidered embellishment.
I hadn't really realized how long it's been since I've done any kind of clothing recon. The truth is that when I am not feeling the self-esteem, I don't really do anything with clothing. I gained quite a lot of weight after surgery and have struggled quite a bit with that. I'm starting to feel myself again and clothes are (surprise!) becoming interesting again.

That is a serious furnace. O_O

Your t shirt design is so cute.
I wonder sometimes if we could just take a holiday from adulting or go on strike.
And THANK YOU for the tissue holder tutorial, as soon as I have finished making the current commissioned pillow, I want to make some.
