I have started working on the Celestial stars blocks, this is the first one, and it took me ages to get the points nearly meeting.....the main fabric is orange, but looks pink here, I also didn't read the pattern properly so it is different to the original!!
this is one of the house residents, we have had several hello and pretty boy converstaions......I found out later it is a girl!!
this is my second attempt at a Celestial Star block this one had given me the heebegeebies!!!!!! I got them all finished and then found I have sewn two the wrong way on the papers so I had to make two more, then I managed to cut off two points, so guess what I am doing this morning???? Yep, another two blocks need to be made.
reject blocks!!!!
So I am off to have a third attempt at these two blocks!!
Happy sewing.

ReplyDeleteGoodluck with the points.........
ReplyDeleteGorgeous pics Sue...looks like you are having a great time
ReplyDeleteLooks like a great place to be. I feel your frustration over the points!
ReplyDeleteAt least you are in a lovely environment sewing with others. Sewing doesn't always go to plan does it?
ReplyDeleteLOL at least you are in a beautiful environment to get frustrated in. I think I would have thrown the block in the bin! I admire your tenacity. Pass some on to me please. Enjoy the remainder of your retreat.
ReplyDeleteOh that paper foundation piecing is fun....
ReplyDeleteHope you are having fun Sue and not letting the stitching and unstitching bother you too much. Looks like a very interesting place
ReplyDeleteVery nice spot. Good luck with your sewing....your block looks great xx
