On Pins and Needles...

I've been so engrossed with working on this piece (and Christmas too) that I completely forgot to take photos. 

I'm finally at the point to sew the applique foreground on to the background.  This is generally the most stressful part of the whole process (at least for me)!

Applique...

Pinning applique down on the quilt top is a pain - I'm constantly stabbing myself and breaking nails!
