As far as the dust on the top fabric, maybe you just need to do a shuffle every Monday morning, the bottom piece pulled out and placed on the top. Dent in the scrap fabric? Don't you know it multiplies? I swear it always looks like more when it gets fluffed up when you look through it. .-= Wanda´s last blog ..<a href="http://exuberantcolor.blogspot.com/2009/08/my-original-idea-for-border-was-to-add.html"></a> =-.

You really just do a simple running stitch with an occasional back stitch for extra strength. It is really very simple and you can take it with you wherever you go it is so versatile - no sewing machine and equipment needed - mainly just needle, thread, scissors. for those of us that do hand piecing I think we do not understand how others would be amazed.

Right now all I have time for is hand applique and sometimes hand piecing my hexagons. Hexagons go so slow though so I lose interest and put them away for a while, but I get them out after a while. I figure it will take 10 years at this rate but I'm really ok with that. .-= Nanette´s last blog ..<a href="http://fredashive.blogspot.com/2009/08/very-charming-fabric-friday.html">A very Charming Fabric Friday</a> =-.

I painted mine a sage green, as I love green. BIG mistake. It messes with the design wall and the quilts and wall hangings are not as focal as they would be with a more neutral color. I have strips ready for a log cabin and never thought of hand piecing it. That may be a great take along project!! .-= Bren´s last blog ..<a href="http://piecesfromme.blogspot.com/2009/08/play-time.html">Play Time</a> =-.
