Oh my gosh this has my name written all over it!
It is the 50 States Stitching Club hosted by Mollie of Wild Olive.
It has all the elements I love.
First, America!
then quilting, paper piecing, embroidery, raw edge applique, who could ask for more.
This staredt a few weeks ago but I just joined. You can join anytime you wish.
Each week we will receive a state mofit to embroider and some fun facts about the state. Mollie is working in sections and we are now in the Eastern Part of the USA.
I started by printing out the star pattern on cardstock (sad face they did not have pink). Cut them out and began to paper piece the points with White Kona.

I hit my stash and decided to go very Patriotic.

Next will be adding the star points and appliqueing it on to the fabric. I also have to remember to blot off the embroidery stitching lines.
I have a few more to make to catch up but I adore handwork so there is no rush.
Come join the fun!
All information can be found
