…it’s as easy as pie

taking advantage of the middle of the night

May23

My sleeping schedule is all off and I slept the entire day.  Yesterday, I made myself daily to-do lists and I had more on my plate for today than I could have handled.  But, I did get about half of it done, including…

I loaded solvy washaway stabilizer onto the longarm, pinning pretty closely.  It’s not the easiest stuff to work with.  I was afraid of tearing it, but it did fine so far.  Hopefully it will hold during stitching.

I then cut up leftover netting and fabric from Miss Scarlet and took a whole skein of Fun Fur left over from the straps and sprinkled it all over the solvy.  I hope it’s balanced and dense enough to hold up once it’s stitched.  I watched a video of this technique on QNN, but am kind of putting my own spin on it.  She used a grid stitching, but I’m going to do a loopy stitching as well, to give it some depth.  I’m using Supeior metallic in the bobbin and MasterPiece on top.

After I had everything arranged, I laid another piece of solvy on top and pinned it in place aroudn the edges.  When I first put it on, the solvy was quite loose.  It would have shifted and bunched and puckered.

I have an appointment to get an ultrasound on my spleen in an hour, but I hope to get started on the stitching when I get back.  Well, maybe after I sleep. :D
