Monthly Archives: August 2013

Last week when I was fixing the one of the zodiac symbols in EQ7 I decided to try redrawing my symbol for Capricorn. I am much happier with my third version. That required making a new overlay, template and basting a new piece of fabric to the background but I am ready to start the appliqué now. I seem to be avoiding work on my Love Entwined. Not sure why. Part 3 was released yesterday and I want to get caught up. I need more fabric for the outer ring on the center compass so I can’t do any appliqué yet. The fabric is on order though. I am going to work on getting everything else prepped and ready to appliqué for when the fabric arrives.

You knew the moon was going to demand its place in the sun, right?

8-9 moonIt’s a marvelous night.

And you knew I’d have to link to the song, right?

I got a little excited last week about the sun and moon blocks after I basted the applique shapes down and decided to start appliqueing them even though it wasn’t on the to-do list. I did resist adding it to the list then just so I could cross it off. I have some self-control…

8-8 sunThe sun demanded its moment to shine.

But I couldn’t resist using that post title without linking to the song… for your listening pleasure.
