Some cutting was done in the morning to prepare for evening sewing. Then at night it started thundering as another storm rolled through so I unplugged my machine. I did get the stripe triangles sewn on the last 4 nine patches. At the left a…
As I navigated the day's adventures, I was continually thinking about the project. I have mentioned more than once that I have a short attention span, which means I get bored if I work too long on something. So here is where I am now: top l…
Thanks to everyone who chimed in with an opinion on the auditioning yesterday I especially enjoyed reading the explanations why the commenter liked the fabric. Every fabric got some votes with the random line fabric getting the most. I thin…
