4th Block Roseville Album

My sewing supplies.....I use the lap board when sitting in my recliner to pin pieces to block. For marking I use Sewline pens in both graphite & white, also Pat Campbell white pencils. Sharpie black marker to trace the pattern out on the clear plastic and to make Kim's pattern darker so I can see it better when I lay my background on top of pattern. I buy plastic drop cloth (medium mil weight) and cut it up to the size of pattern and trace, the Sharpie marker doesn't smear. Plastic overlay is for another quilt pattern but thought you would like to see what I'm talking about. Also for making templates I use film transparencies, such as for overhead projectors and from old x-rays film. I like to use YLI silk thread and Piecemaker applique needles. Since I needleturn only, I usually just turn my edges over when doing circles, once in awhile I will do the yo-yo method for circles. I keep my basket next to my comfy chair ready with supplies and with an extra pair of glasses to take to my sewing groups, which is once or twice a week....

4th block for Roseville Album. As you will see in photo, I've got part of the next block done and ready to sew next border on the Basket Medallion.

Will post soon,
