There is lot of appliqué in this card but I used the glue method rather than my usual product to attach the pieces to the background. I was pleased with the results – there was no slippage as I stitched. I also had a tip from another quilter about using tissue paper as a backing when doing the appliqué stitches and they came out quite even. For the embroidery I did a quick YouTube video and realized I’ve been doing my stem stitch wrong. I’m not sure it gave me the confidence to do a lot more embroidery work but at least I got through the card.

Ken is celebrating a milestone birthday this year and I would like to be there to celebrate with him but in this Covid-19 era that just isn’t possible. When all of this is behind us I hope we can enjoy several cups of coffee and catch up. Maybe there will even be cake!
