Yesterday was Applique Club at the shop. We are doing a block of the month with the "Hop To It!" quilt by Edyta Sitar and are on month 5. Shown is my completed month 1's block, as far as I have gotten. Really behind, huh? I am machine appliquing these blocks with invisible thread. The applique is turned under not raw edge.
At the club, I introduced Pat Sloan's Meadow Breeze mystery quilt patsloan.com. I am so excited about this quilt that I skipped working on "Hop To It!" and began this project. Months 1 and 2 have been cut out. I skipped to month 2 to begin stitching. I decided to hand stitch rather than machine stitch this quilt. Notice that I am adding bead embellishment. It really sparks it up!
I love having a woman's prerogative of changing my mind. I make great use of it on a daily basis.

I am so excited about this quilt. I love putting beads on my quilts too. It adds so much more to the design. Beautiful work!
