On the right side are lots of tutorial for many different projects. I wish I was sewing right now but I need to do a lot of cleaning up of my sewing table.

This is a very attractive quilt, I hope I am not repeating myself and showing the same site more than once. If so forgive me , after all I have been ill . LOL
I promised to show you my latest completed butterfly and then promptly forgot about it. So today I remembered and took a photo. Here it is......
Japanese umbrellas and a beautiful pink fabric. The next  photo is to show the applique stitches. I'll tell you how I get them so small.
I use the ladder stitch or applique stitch ,
Check here for instructions  and as you can see it can be used for binding. I use this stitch for my binding too as well as applique.
The other trick is using silk thread. My thread box is full of all different colours of silk thread. That is the secret to invisible applique stitches.  I like doing applique, it is very satisfying.
This was the day to go to the hospital to see the infectious disease specialist. He said I was doing really well but to remember that he could offer no guarantees as to killing this germ. How could I forget that the failure of this treatment is to have my bladder removed. I just hope this is doing the trick. I feel well so that is a good thing.
Then I had to have a nap, I have been getting quite tired with all these antibiotics. But on the whole it has been good and no side effects.  I am a tough old bird LOL.
Well Game Seven is tomorrow and I don't think I can stay to watch it so I'll read a book. I know when there is a score as Ray will yell "We Scored" , no need for me to watch haha.
Have a great evening folks, it is nice and cool here so it will be an easy evening.
Aloha ahiahi.
