My name is Peggy Welchert from western Kentucky. I enjoy designing mostly quilts, but also create other types of sewing projects. I teach quilting classes from beginners to more advanced piecing and applique. It is fun to add interest to designs with dimensional applique, pictures and threads. I hope to introduce everyone reading my blog to some of my new projects and hope to inspire others to create! I may on occasion share with you a recipe as I also love to cook.

Week 8
I didn't sew much this week, but did start the block of the month stitchery project at http://willowberrydesigns.typepad.com/ . Mine is not yet finished, so I have not pressed it. I still have leaves to add to the willow tree and then decide if I want to change anything.
I have not done this type of embroidery in years and learned the hard way that back stitch doesn't mean stem stitch like I was taught as a child. Back stitching was easier for me and much faster to do then the stem stitch.
I am claiming 1 yard of fabric used this week, but I only used about 4 1/2" x 7 1/2" this week. I have several stitchery projects I want to try on this background fabric.
Fabric used this week: 1 yards
Fabric bought this week: 0 yard
Fabric used this YTD 23 5/8yards
Fabric bought YTD 1 yard
Stash busted YTD 22 5/8 yards
Still having fun,
Peggy

the stitchery project is lovely.
that is pretty work ... I don't have the patience to do that anymore. Maybe later on in life when the kids are grown and the house is quiet.
