Remember me?????
"Home is Where My Heart Is"
Well, it now looks like this:
Home is where My Heart WAS!!!!!
↧↧↧↧
I HAD to take it all apart as the sheet I was using for the backing piece
keep stretching and bunching up no matter how much I sewed it down...
It had a lot of "Polly-Wolly-Polyester" in it I guess...
:((((((((((((
Noooooooooo!!!!
I just could not make it behave--so I ripped out all my stitching--
yep until 1 am last night👽👻👹!!!
I could not see continuing on fighting it like this...
This time around I will use a
solid COTTON
backing
or a linen...
LIVE AND LEARN!!!
Here is a picture of that offending sheet:
{bad sheet, bad sheet}
S I G H
What a total nightmare and waste of time...
BUT...lesson learned
Mr, Sheet has gone out in the recycle
today...;;;HAH!!!
Take that!!!
So,
I put all the bits and pieces and various
off-cuts into a big container to await my
next attempt--maybe not too soon...
S I G H...
Random sewing is not as simple as it looks
👀👹👀
BUT...
I am not giving up
**********************
Now for some happier news:
I finished the August
block--
Sunflower--
yesterday....
Now I will start on Mr. Squirrel
who is September...
I am catching up
slowly but surely...
My stitches are not perfect, but
they are getting better as I go along...
')))))
Here is the project photo included
with the kit...
SO.....
Only four more blocks and then
I can do the x'x borders, add some
little beads (included),
and then make it into a wall hanging...
Just sewing with two long lengths
of thread per day
yields good results
and doesn't
seem to impact my hands...
;)))))
I hope you are all enjoying these
last mild days before
Mr. Winter blows in...
I do look forward to seeing
snow each year; last year
we only had a
few flakes of it...
;((((
