A date with the seam ripper

 Oops!  This is what happens when I get in a hurry!


This is a poor quality photo, but it definitely shows my big mistake from yesterday.  I had sewn the Sewcialites blocks into 3 sections and laid those sections out on the floor in my sewing room to make sure I had them aligned correctly.  But I still managed to sew one section upside down onto another section.  I'm grateful I checked before adding that last section. 


Luckily I had prepped some other projects to work on, so in order to calm my frustration I made 3 pillowcases for Quilts of Valor, and made one QOV star block to add to the collection.


A couple of very small finishes happened Wednesday too, as I wasn't ready to deal with that green quilt quilt yet.  There were these 12 little pink and brown blocks (6") in a drawer, so combined with a batting scrap, a bit of leftover pale pink backing, and a length of brown leftover binding, this little doll quilt is ready in my donation box.


And I put the binding on these 2 hotpads also made with leftovers.  I love having leftover binding pieces in a drawer because usually there is plenty for binding a mug rug or hot pad.

And today - once I'm done with the seam ripper, that green quilt will hopefully become a finished top.

  1. I hate those kind of sewing days. But you turned your frustration into finishes, so that's good. Hopefully the unsewing and resewing go quickly.

  4. The best thing to do when that happens is to walk away. If I try to correct when I’m frustrated, I make a bigger mess. I hope today is a better sewing day. Love the pink doll quilt.
