Last week I was able to spend some time with my sister, Mary Jo. She was able to move into her newly built house several weeks earlier, but I was not able to be there to help because of my foot surgery. However while I was there last week, we did the time-consuming and all-important task of moving and setting up her kitchen. Any woman who has moved knows that this is one of the toughest tasks to do in a new home! In the midst of the visit, I taught my Introduction to Machine Applique class at Heirlooms Forever in Tupelo, MS. Since this was my first time to teach post-surgery, I made sure to take one of her barstools to sit on during class!
When I arrived home last week, I had an email from one of my students from the class. Patricia had sent me pictures of a jumper she had made for her 3-year-old granddaughter after taking the class, and I thought that I would share them with all of you. I think that she did a wonderful job - especially in doing the applique stitch around the Marlene the Frog's hot pink toenails! I can only do these in a running stitch! If you've made something from my patterns and/or appliques, I would love to see a picture of your finished product!
