Happy Belated Thanksgiving! For Thanksgiving I seem to have picked up a bug, after days of just feeling bla with my bones aching, the fevers where actually somewhat of a relief. Don't bother worrying, I felt better enough today to work in the sewing room. Right I bet you gals know exactly how much
better that makes me. LOL!

White Wisteria and Fairy Ring Applique |
I affixed all of the Calla Lilies, and changed the toadstools into more of a fairy ring shape and then I added a branch of White Wisteria. The angle of the new branch allowed me to lengthen a couple of the distant purple Wisteria and it you look you can see there is a bit of a graduation line between the white the purple and then the pink. My next step will be to applique this and then I can start working on filling up that second side of this border and getting on to the remaining 2 borders.
Oh and I have learned a trick to cutting the Wisteria leaves. Now that I have a solid grasp on how the grow I can rough sketch one on the Steam-a-Seam (2). Carefully cutting the first branch out I can then rough in the next branch using the spaces of scrap bits to draw in the first side of leaves, then the branch is drawn and the second side of leaves drawn to match. It goes more quickly this way and my scraps are even smaller than before.

It's looking good. The fairy ring was a great idea.
Hope you're feeling better now?
