I finally finished a large 'appliqué in the hoop' quilt today. It's
going to go in my office at work; I'm really pleased with how it came
out. If you'd like to take a look it is here:

I posted a few days ago about useing the binding method Sharon
Schamber outlines on her website using Elmer's school glue instead of
pins to keep everything in check and I have to say, this is the best
binding I've ever done. It's flat and smooth. I've never done mitered
corners before because I was too scared to try it but using her method
they are perfect. With my arthritic fingers, this method is a godsend.
Pins are so painful to deal with sometimes.
Anyway, this is hopefully the first in a series of seasonal applique
quits for
my office, one each for summer, fall, winter and spring. (I know, big
dreams!)

Oh my, how pretty, pretty, pretty. Exquisite color choices and incredible
satin-stitching. Any tricks to that you'd like to share? Polly
