Now that I've shown you how bad it gets in my sewing room I just want to let you know that I am starting work on a plan to make great improvements in the tidiness of our so called spare room! More of that plan later!!
Yesterday I went back to my original intention of clearing out UFOs and started on my applique borders again. I finished one border last month and I am hoping to finish another this month.
An evening of sewing on the second border resulted in all swags being attached along the easy top side and these two being completely stitched on.
I now have to go back along the curved bottom edge of these remaining two and of course the corner one.
Finally I have four stars to stitch on and that border will be finished!
That will be half way around and time for a little celebration I think! I will see how far round I can get today!
Here is how it looks today! The border on the left is completed, the border on the right to be finished soon!
