Machine
Applique: 1988
We recently had a council "cleanup" day coming up so I used the opportunity to have a bit of an "autumn clean" and found a few extra pieces for my photo gallery. I had quite forgotten how much I enjoyed machine
applique, and used it mostly over a period of 3 to 4 years to decorate our family jumpers or t-shirts. My poor old Elna got quite a workout and I
soon realised how much more I could get done (and sooo much faster too) with a
machine. I can't quite remember where or when (late 1980's?) I learned this technique. Lots of fun!
