Stitches Begun




The Evening purse to be created for my daughter's fundraiser....
I had gathered fabrics before this month then actually did complete piecing together the morning of my surgery. I thought I pressed it well...
Now Smoothing it out and studying where stitches needs will be, I hear Martha Green's words in my head. You must press the "heck out of it". Needless to say, i find after doing some finishing up of applying fabric it looks a bit wrinkly.
I will post my progress and see how that turns out as to get to an iron and machine involves stairs, unless I can beg someone to iron for me.
It brings to mind, one of a dear Crazy Quilters at last summer retreat. She had quite the setup around her chair. Her sewing machine, ironing board, threads and ribbons,and books so wonderfully organized around her project. I should of thought of that!
Now I have a deadline and will carry on with my organization. I 'll let you know how that goes...
But I will truly appreciate any tips to helping me meet my goal.
