visitors, visiting and Baby Girl's sore gums haven't left much time this week for my fabric book.
I've done more stitching on the applique page (no photo yet) but I'm not happy with it. I used some black gingham circles, and although I'm happy with the stitching - zig-zag, stab, backstitch and blanket stitch - the fabric is annoying me....
I've also agonised over the crazy quilt page. Yes, still!
Anyway. A new To Do list:-
*Prepare inserts for the stacked pocket page. I've decided to keep the pockets plain and simple and just in white. But I'm going to prepare heavily embellised inserts in black that can be pulled from the pockets. However the pockets are currently too transparent. I may have to unstitch them and iron on more vilene!
*Crazy quilt page will be a double page with foldouts on each side. It will be made with white fabric and black and white threads and beads. It will be a showcase of seam treatments. However there won't be any patterned fabric to inspire the stitching so I'm sure not if it can be called crazy quilting... I think there will be 9 seams - 2 of them will need to fold inwards.
Does any of that make sense?
*Complete the applique page and line page and hand page so that I can stitch the two sides together (sandwiching some wadding) and have 4 completed pages!!!!

Hi Fiona - Happy new year to you.
Love the way you post your 'to do' lists. Does it help, putting it on show? I know that blogging alone keeps me motivated, I just wondered if I could get even further if I too posted 'a round tuit' list. (Yea, showing my age now - DLT - who? you ask!)
