Another slow day

I didn't want to get 'into my groove' working with Mo'e this morning knowing that I'd have to stop to take hubby to his appointment a little after noon so I decided I'd do what I could on a gift I had received for Christmas.  It's a wall hanging kit that measures 13" x 15"so it shouldn't take too long to do.

I managed to get the background cut and sewn before I had to eat something/anything before leaving for the appointment.

Tonight, after dinner I cut out some of the pieces and now have them being held to the background with those teenie tiny applique pins.

There are still flowers, stems and leaves to cut out..I think I will stitch the sheep down before I add the flowers, etc.  I considered hand stitching, but decided that I'd rather sew by machine and get it done.



It's an hour later and I have the body of the bottom sheep and the ears & legs of the middle sheep sewn down using black thread and a double blanket stitch.  I think I'll try and match the thread to the fabric for the entire applique'.  Yes, the bottom sheep is a dark gray and I used black thread, but my dark gray thread would have looked the same, so I just stuck with the black.

Ok, almost time for the season premiere of Alaska Bush People... can't miss that!!
