I was so excieted to see Tammy’s new project that I asked her if she needed me to test it and she said yes!  I really wanted to make the center block into a wall hanging!  This block, part a beautiful quilt pattern designed by TK Harrison of Quiltalicious.com, which will be available at AbbiMays.com in January.   The fabric used is from  Surf & Sand  designed by Michele D’Amore from Marcus Brothers.

Yesterday I started my project and just love working with these sand and ocean colors.  After printing out the instructions and cutting out the templates for the waves and beach I layed them out on the block:

Now for the supplies need for this project. I like to take my applique projects when I travel and over the years have lost most of my special pins so I had to go digging for more.  Does your pin box look like mine?

I found 4 pins - that’ll work, found my only straw needle which is very used and has a slight bend in it. Whew I have freezer paper.

Here’s yesterdays progress: waves and beach are done:

My sewing room is my dining room table and today I need to clean the house because we have company coming for dinner. 

Hmmm….clean house or applique, clean or applique – applique, for sure!
