Pick A Petal: February Update

 

With the embroidery complete on Pick A Petal log cabin border, I started working on the applique. I do not enjoy traditional applique; I much prefer the blanket stitch variety. So that's what I decided to do.

The bonding portion gave me a hard time. The stickum stuff on the bonding paper kept wanting to go to the wrong side. I thought this was prolly because my bonding paper was ancient, so I ordered some new. But I still had a really hard time getting the stickum to come to the right side. 

This is one of the two short sides of the log cabin border. Today I finished the bonding of the second short side and tonight will begin blanket-stitching. I'm so glad I have the Olympics to help me out with this!

Here are close-ups of side one of the log cabin border:
