pretty little mistake...LOL
Do you ever
have one of those days where you think...why the heck did I even get out of
bed....of course you do we all do....yesterday was one of those days...lol
As you
recall I awoke to find that my seeds had jumped a couple of inches over night
that coupled with an amazing cold made for a great start of the day...lol
I had
sewing that needed to get done and since I just had a sore throat I headed to
the sewing room to make some progress. Somehow I ended up cutting my hand 4
times not with the rotary cutter but somehow..lol I also ended up breaking my
needle for the first time ever. This was followed by me spending an hour trying
to get a new needle in. It was only
after I realized I had the needle position in its lowest position that I clued
into why the little bugger wouldn`t fit in.....LOL Oh my I should a have
stopped right there and went back to bed....lol
I did
finish up one block for the We bee learning bee and almost finished my last
mini for the Table Topper Blog Hop. So it was a successful albeit frustrating
day.....LOL However, now that I look back at my block I think that I did it
wrong....HAHAHA I did follow the tutorial that she provided, but she also
wanted a fussy cut centre square....which means that the tutorial is more of an
idea but not what we are suppose to follow. I knew that on Tuesday....but I
think this cold is messing with my head since I didn’t think of that again till
last night when I saw the block my mother made for the bee......LOL
This is
what Jody was wanting
And this is
what I made.............
So this not
quite what she wanted, but still really cute in my eyes at least. I think I am
just going to rip out the middle and fussy cut something to stick in there. Or
use the light purple for the middle or just start over.
Oh well
sometimes your mistakes are pretty too J
I've been wondering why my quilting hasn't been working out and maybe that's it - my brain isn't working right. Thanks! Unfortunately, I haven't got a cold. Maybe spring fever though. Now that I think on it, I always started skipping school about now because I was listless and couldn't concentrate.
ReplyDeleteGet better soon!!
For some reason I can't see the first photo but your block looks great! And I'm proud of you for not going back to bed....just look at what you accomplished!
ReplyDeleteI totally made last month's bee block wrong and then sent it off. Didn't realize it until a couple of weeks later when I was perusing the FlickR group. Oh my. I made another one and sent it along too.
ReplyDeleteThe block looks great, even if it's not quite what was wanted. And has me thinking, wouldn't a nice bright quilt be a great thing to snuggle under in the dark days of winter. Might have to keep my eye out for fabric that's a bit brighter than I normally go for.
ReplyDeleteHey I'm Jody! I think your Jody has great taste, not just in names, but in quilt patterns too! Beautiful work!
ReplyDeleteJody- Thank you :)
