Wednesday's Wanderings #17 - My Blue Heaven

Sometimes a girl just wants to have fun.
My new ride. I call it Blue Heaven.
Top down with that cute little dog - Bailey.
I see lots of road trips in our future!

So to future Wednesday's Wanderings -

I really love fusible applique. My favorite machine stitch to use to secure it is a blanket stitch.
 It gives me the freedom of design and it certainly is a great way to add words to a quilty piece.


My favorite thread to use is rayon.  It is shiny and adds a bit of a sparkle.

  2. When I met my husband the first time, he had a blue bug.
    I made a little hanging from the first time and trip we took to see aerosmith.

  3. I'm totally revved up by how you accelerated the sweet, sassy metallic blue into a retro paisley print, the perfect emotional kick to convey the retro attitude of the bug. Vroom, girlfriend!--Eleanor Levie
