Look what I got.....Isn't the fabric beautiful! It is hand dyed by Vicki at 3creativestudios. And the Lapel Stick was a give away I won also. It is a new product that is washable and doesn't gum up the machine needle. Wish I had had it for all that applique I just finished. And Amy at Amys creative side is doing a giveaway for 2 Lapel Sticks this week. So hop over and enter.
And a tip for those with design walls.
Sometimes you need to pin applique or etc. to the block on the design wall. I was forever running across the room for pins, or removing the pins and sticking them in the wall just anywhere....usually in the way.
Finally, I wised up after the last quilt with all the applique and pinned a small pin cushion to the design wall.
A small strip of fabric is safety pinned to the bottom of the pin cushion. Then I used a large T-pin through the fabric to secure it to the design wall.
A place for everything, and everything in it's place.
Happy stitching,

That's a great idea; I wear my pin cushion on my wrist.
Do you think the lapel stick could be used instead of pins on the design wall? Just a thought.
