[QUOTE=Cogito;6196396]PLEASE dont choose this for a monthly swap. Looks extremely complicated!
I wasn't thinking for this swap, that would not be good, but for an entirely new, proly one time thing!! I don't paper piece either, but it is on my bucket list. My bucket is BIG and it do runneth over. LOL
Have you all ever had "one of those" days? Last night. I just need to get the label done for Bertie's DQ. So I embroidered one. Put "Aug" and it is the July swap. So, I did it over. Then tried to finish off the edges and my machine wouldn't sew. I rethreaded, and broke the needle, so I tore it apart and took a bucket of lint out. It still won't sew. The bobbin holder appears to have "spun", so it will have to go to the repair shop. So, I think, I will use the serger to finish off the edges. Well, that label is STUCK in the serger. It snatched the fabric and jammed it so far down into the bottom that I couldn't get it out. I went to bed. The label is still stuck and the DQ is still waiting for it. Tonight I will use my paint pencils so I can get it in the mail before the PO closes. Some days it just doesn't pay to even try!
On a better note, I have folded all my cotton fabric onto boards and can now find a piece when I need one! Still lots of work in my room, but that was an amazing start!
