Finally some Sewing
Today's hosts of the RWB blog hop are
*********************************************************************************
Yesterday I decided to move the fan into the craft room and
try to get some sewing done. Now when you have crap treasures laying all
over the place it gets a bit crazy in there when you add some wind, but it was
better than melting or not getting anything done.
Now when I wrote this post yesterday this is the list of
everything I assumed I would get finished
We Bee Learning group one and two blocks
Bee creative 2012 block
Christmas blog hop blocks
Let’s just say things didn’t exactly go as planned! I decided that I was going to tidy up a bit
and cut some fabric in half that I had bought for my mother and me to share. By
the time I was half way through doing that 2 hours had passed and I hadn’t even
started on blocks. By then it was smoking
in the house and I took a wee break.
I decided to start on the lightening block that Phuong
requested in group one. It seemed easy enough and the instructions over at Jenn of all trades were
nice and simple. The actually cutting and sewing of each block was a breeze and
then all hell broke loose....lol I couldn’t get my zig zags to work out. I
would have everything ready to sew then once I put the blocks back down nothing
matched up again....lol it took me 2 hours to get the block done. It wasn’t the
blocks fault my head just wasn’t working. I did end up with some pretty neat
patterns though....LOL
Here is my finished product. I just love this block and can’t
wait to see the whole quilt!
I am going to try and get another block done today, but this
time I will limit myself to just one!
Happy Friday the 13th
The heat is horrible when you're not used to it or prepared for it! My son in California called to say that the day after we left the temperatures rose to 110 and have stayed around there during the day for several days! If you don't have air conditioning, that can be really hard to deal with. (He's used to it, by the way.)
ReplyDeleteStay cool. I like to put an ice cube or cold drink can on my wrist to cool off quickly when it's too hot. You might try that.
I'm glad you were able to get something done in spite of the heat. The blocks are unusual and I bet they will be striking. I've always like the turquoise(teal), red and white together.
