UFO Challenge: Serendipity Lady

I started Serendipity Lady in 2014. I haven’t worked on her since a CQFA Retreat in 2019. I also haven’t written much about it.

She is the next UFO Challenge piece on which I have to work. The first step was getting her out of the closet. I didn’t have to find her as she was hanging flat against the back wall of the Fabric Closet. So, the first step was achieved pretty easily.

The next step was to rip off the paper that I used to stabilize the piece for the applique’. I was able to accomplish this task over the course of a couple of nights in front of the TV.

I have no idea what I used, but it was two layers and it felt like drawing paper. Some of it under the actual satin stitching was impossible to remove. This will be a wall hanging, so it doesn’t matter.

My next step is to quilt the piece. 

Shock! Horror! I know. I have a plan and since it is small, I think I will be able to do it. I had planned to frame this piece, but I don’t know if I will do that or not at this point. One thing at a time.
