I am normally a very patient person but working on this centre star for Betty's Medallion the pieces very nearly ended up in the bin! I think there was a print error as the instructions say to cut the light coloured squares 2 1/2" but the instructions say to sew in a 2 5/8' square. We got over that one but then I didn't understand the illustrations for adding the triangles
and ended up with bits that did not join together. After a few blue words and lots of un picking I got it back together
not perfect, the centre is not aligned and there is a bit of a gap but I am calling it finished!! No doubt I will go back and try to fix it at some stage.
Some happy mail was dropped at the front door by the postie today, this one must have had a few days rest at biosecurity control!
This photo is out of order but it is what I ordered from Shiny Happy World early in December.
These panels are so cute, they are for cushion covers but I think I will make them into a quilt.
This was what was in the mailing bag before I opened it.
Second happy mail was from a pen pal in the US, I got the best penpal award for 2020 😁 kindly made and sent by Laura. How cute are the little mice!
I haven't done much today as it is very hot today, a sewing friend came for a visit and a cuppa and a chat and the rest of the day I have been reading this book, which is now finished. Large print makes for a quick read!
I had better be off and see to dinner, hubby is watching footie highlights 😢 (again) so that needs to be changed quick smart!!
Happy stitching.
