Kat's Sewing Corner

Here are some blocks that Debbie R and I are working on for a quilt for a Mother who lost her son in Iraq.

This weekend Debbie taught me two different techniques to applique, and tonight was the first time I have used the machine satin stitch. I was very reluctant to bring the block home, but now I am glad I did! I practiced first on some scrap material, and when it looked right I started on the large heart block. I had no problems, that is until I was within 2 1/2 inches of being finished!

The blocks will be 12"x12" finished. It is going to be beautiful!
