But that doesn't mean I wasn't busy!! ;-) Remember the Halloween kit? I love it so much! but I waffled and waffled on it. :-/ Did I want to do the applique by hand and have it done up in 10 years? (yes, I am that slow at hand stuff!) Did I want to back baste? Did I want to do fusibles? Did I want to do freezer paper to prep the applique pieces ala Kim Diehl's way? Argh! So many ways to applique and what did I really want to do??? I did start tracing the pattern on freezer paper. Then decided there were too many curves and places I would probably mess up with tucking the seam allowances back, so I finally made a decision I will stick with! It's going to be done with fusible applique. I traced. And I traced. Aaannnd I traced! Whew! There are a lot of pieces in this kit! :-) And then I started cutting up the fusible... making little windows so it won't end up stiff. And this is as far as I got. Not quite ready for Halloween. :-)) But I am not putting it up~ I'll continue tracing and fusing in between other 'must do' things until it is finished. I am determined. ;-) Unfortunately, I won't be able to play with it anymore this week as I am going quilting next week and need to get my backings ready! But it's staying out and will get worked on. :-)
The photo is all the little windowed pieces for the first third of it. Click the photo if you'd like a closer look~ I know it looks like a mess! But there is method to my madness! ;-)What did you do last week? Hop on over Judy L's and see what other quilters in blogland are working~
Until next time~
Happy Stitchin'!!

Good luck!!
Fusing it is just fine!
Can't wait to see the finished wall hanging. Fusing is a good deal- you won't be washing it often; )
