Applique sweatshirt and pants set.....





I just finished playing with a sweat/set by cutting out leaves and using the 6600 blanket stitch (mode 2 # 72, I think it was) to applique the leaves in a falling
pattern ....I also put them on one leg of the pants (not photographed). Then I used stitch mode 2 # 8 to "lettuce" the sleeve edges and the neckline. It was fun.

Happy stitching!

The new sewing room and 2 new Janome babies




I thought I would update the photos and post a word or two now that I have finally gotten settled in to my new (to me) home. WHEW! I thought this unpacking, setting up and organizing the sewing room would NEVER be DONE but alas it is as "done" as its going to get!

Still working (S-L-O-W-L-Y) on the sweatshirt remake jacket... this has got to be the longest remake in history as I have been playing with it for 2 years now, LOL.
I have WAY too many UFO's and this is just one of them.

I WILL CONQUER; I will, I will, I WILL!

More later..... this is my best effort for tonight as I'm just getting over the effects of what I'll call the "creeping crud" otherwise known as a bad cold. Now I have to confess that I've never heard anyone say they had a "good cold" (something to ponder in one's spare time).

More to come......later..... chow for now.
