Thank you received: 82

First I put my design on some DecorBond; cut it out and fused it to some fancy dress material that I had on hand(this stabilized the material so it wouldn't give me fits and it made it very easy to turn my edges under). I machine appliqued the pieces in place using monopoly and a very narrow, close zig-zag. Then I bought some craft threads that were meant to be used to make friendship bracelets. It came in all kinds of bright colors and was heavier than embroidery thread. Make sure you are sitting down--I hand embroidered all of those stitches. I was inspired by Mary Corbet's lattice stitching that she was using on a sampler (this is all Lynn's fault because she is always getting me distracted with fun things). I stitched until I was happy and then put it together and quilted it. There are French knots, back stitches, and all kinds of other stitches on there. I am glad you like it. I wanted Limbania to have something happy to look at and there are lots of prayers stitched into that little mug rug.
