The picture is a bit fuzzy, but can you see my mistake? Oops!!!
I was working away on Farmers Wife Sampler rows, and getting excited to be closing in on a finish. HaHaHa! Then as I was pressing this row, I noticed that I was missing the sashing section next to that top block. This is what happens when I get in a hurry.
And . . . that was only 1 of the 3 spots where I missed the sashing piece next to the side setting triangles! Three spots before I noticed - how aggravating! Out came the seam ripper to remove those setting triangles to fix it. And I really needed to work on something else to push away that frustration.
What's better than some "happy" stitching? I can't show the whole block right now, but this is for a block collection I'm participating in. I wanted something that said happy - and SPRING - so I pulled out the Lori Holt books for just the right block and dug into the 30s stash for happy fabrics. And yes - sewing on this cheerful block changed my whole attitude almost immediately. I'll show the whole block some other day.
Sorry you had to spend time with Jack:( But that flower will make anyone smile, it's so cute!
ReplyDeleteThe flower made me smile too! :)
ReplyDeleteIt's always a good idea to move away from a frustrating project for a bit. The flower is really fun. Happy stitching time this weekend. Hopefully the misbehaving project will line out now.
