Hand applique' at Good Wives Co.
Yesterday my sister and I went to a small store called Good Wives Co. and took a class on hand applique'. I have always love to work on hand stitches and I knew there were many techniques so when I saw they were offering them I jumped for the chance to learn something new. The hearts were the pieces where we learned how to hide our stitches. We were then sent home with another pattern to work on. When I get my stuff out today I will try to post a pick of the primitve flower basket I will try next on my own.
We had a great time. Their shop is so homey and welcoming...you would love to visit there. I forgot my camera so guess I will have to make a trip back so I can get some snaps of what you missed. These ladies are the sweetest things. They are joyful and fun to be around. We had a good instuctor and all were available to answer questions or help out where they could. I so wish you could have come with me. We are going to go back for another class in March that is Wool applique'/ Now I know that you have seen some of the things that I have made and I already know how to make primitve wall hangings and stocking but this pattern seemed to have more detail so I want to see what techniques they use too.
I am going to have way to much fun. Hope you are having a wonderful Sunday. Be Blessed,
