I'm Not The Fastest Woman in the World

If you happened to watch,
the women's 100 meter race,
you were watching the fastest women
runners in the entire world.

I was not included in that
exclusive group of women.

While I was watching,
I was plodding along
getting my appliqué stems

 from this


 To this.


Using this one inch grid pattern,
a tape measure,
and a few straight pins,

I s-l-o-w-l-y

positioned the stems
on the 26 inch background pieces,
and glued them 
with the Roxanne's Basting Glue.


I took the advice of Barb,
and just used the grid as a guide and
strived for similar not identical.
Making them more
Whimsy,
Folk art and
Charming

I got ready to use my glue
and look what happened to one
of the bottles I hadn't used yet.
It had something growing in it.
It was pretty rotten and stinky.
Glad I had more.

The good news is that I have
advanced to the next round,
 the actual sewing
 of my 11 PProject.

Until Next Time-
