Just keep sewing, just keep sewing

I had a brain blip the other night when i started on this set of 10. I sewed the to small shapes together & couldn't at first work out why i was short shapes when i knew i'd cut out 4. After an Ah ha moment i had a bit of reverse sewing happening & that was sorted.  I got up to sewing the 3rd pair together only to discover i'd sewn the small shape to the wrong side of the larger shape. Again reverse sewing. I felt like giving up & going to bed but i persevered & got the block together. I started on a 2nd but decided i would give up for the night as i wasn't really in a sewing mood. But since then i've got stuck into them & have nearly all 10 done.

Now onto the last 21 i proceed.

Happy stitching,

Prepping EPP

I kept looking at the big basket of purple fabrics near my chair & thinking i really need to get that out of the lounge room. So yesterday i decided to get prepping the last 21 blocks of Mischief. Took me hours as first i had to match fabrics & then start cutting. The reason i was only doing 10 at a time was i only had 10 binding clips in my sewing bag. Luckily i had  discovered where i'd put the tin of them when i was searching for the Christmas bells a few weeks back. :)

All 21. They aren't glued down yet. I'd gotten this far when it was my bedtime.

Happy Stitching,

I wore my fingers out....

...yesterday cutting & gluing the Mischief joining pieces. In the afternoon i cut the last 54 i needed the started the trimming of the 219 pieces. Last night i got stuck into gluing & had nearly finished by bedtime

Not many left. Now i can get back to sewing the blocks together.

Happy Stitching,

Up to Mischief

Last night saw me prepping the next 10 blocks for my Mischief quilt. With these one i'll have 79. 21 to go. Yay me.

Then rather than start sewing them together i decided i needed to make headway on the joining pieces.

165 there. I'm not sure how many i have all up as i'll need to count them. I need over 300 & i don't want to be short or prep too many.

Happy Stitching,

Last 2 rosettes....

for this set of 8 Ice Cream Soda blocks.

I finished off number 6 & got stuck into 7 & 8 before bed called me.

All 32 blocks together.

they make a nice stack. :)

Happy stitching,
