PATCHWORK - Update

It gets even stranger. Last night, I lugged home a donation of several boxes of fabric and some unfinished quilts. Great, I thought. I can practice on these quilt kits awhile before making my own patterns with the scraps.

As I unloaded, I discovered with dismay that the quilt kits contained appliquees--cutouts that you're supposed to sew on top of a white background... after you glue them down with an iron-on film called "Stitch Witchery."

Stitch Witchery is expensive. And essential. And I've never used it in my life.

So this morning, as I'm rooting through my sewing box in search of a needle, guess what I come across, which I never saw before, and certainly never bought?

Stitch Witchery.
