Next thing is to remember what Pat told me about stitching the fused items down. I will have to do some practice stitching before I work on the real flowers.
Learning to quilt the "new" way with rotary cutter, rulers and machine. Finding lots of ways to mess up.

Renee Plains "Flower Shop" progress
At "Thimbles" Friday night I got back to work on the "Flower Shop" piece I began at "Primitives" in Missouri. I have all the blocks fused. Oh wait, let me tell you a little about my first fusing. There are big differences in that fusible web stuff. It helps to know what you are doing. I had forgotten the web I'd bought in MO, so I stopped at Hobby Lobby on the way to Thimbles to purchase more. There were so many types; I did my best to get what I needed, but the stuff I bought was dreadful. The web part would not stick to the sheet no matter what I did. I just hope I didn't do any damage to Chris' iron or ironing sheet. I had some of the other web at home, so that is what I used today, except on the pots because it wasn't wide enough. Also, don't look too close at the pots; at least all my flowers face the same way! (Oh, freaking DUH! I just checked Renee's picture, and I can see I did all my flowers facing the wrong way. Well, GEEZ, at least they are CONSISTENT!)

Very cute quilt! You should just tell everyone you MEANT to make the flowers go the other way! (It's still a great quilt!)
I love this quilt! I think with flowers there is no "wrong" way. Flowers are meant to have personality :)
I think it is great. I just have no patience with applique because I don't like how it comes out when I do it.

I love the quilt. I get confused on applique alot of things turn out going the wrong way. All the web fusible is also confusing. I just try to live and learn.

Practice, good plan. Remember the traveling thing I told you about and also making the Stitch Out chart. If you need help send up a SOS..
