Here you see 4 new poppies from the last time I posted about my art quilt; clearly, I’ve gotten my machine back!
Here’s a close-up of the 4 new flowers. Reverse applique. And I completed all the zig-zag stitching on the appliques, too; but I had a few struggles with a 50 weight rayon thread that kept breaking, it was a type of thread I hadn’t tried before. With a new needle and lower tension, things improved, but on this purple flower I feel the satin-stitching is a bit lumpy and stressed:
Things look a lot better on the orange poppy, the satin stitch is nice and smooth:
No matter; it’ll work in the end!
I figure I have to make 7 more reverse applique poppy shapes…..
Very Nice…we have your frisbee!
