Oksewglad: I had not heard that maxim. It makes a lot of sense. Thanks for sharing. I was wondering about a grunge fabric. My LQS is getting Grunge in stock now. I better write myself a note to take it with me next week to a class so I can ‘audition’ some fabrics. If it gets much bigger, I may need to have the LQS long arm it.
. Wahoo for your taxes being done! Lots of time invested in record keeping for farmers.
sewbizgirl: Thanks! The gal hosting it had us make tubes and then cut the triangle shape. Not sure if I explained that correctly.
. It was a new concept for me. I bought my die cutter between the 2 HST Challenge years but I didn’t have the right dies or the expertise to figure it out. I’m much better now and would probably just use a different block size according to my dies. Lol!
judy: I’m cheering for you to finish it. You can do it! Looking forward to pictures.
On a side note: A friend from church called today and asked me if I would come to her house when I had time because she couldn’t get her needle in her machine. I got there and put the needle in quickly (her fingers are stiff and she thinks she was putting it in backwards). Then she told me her needle threader wasn’t working correctly. I quickly realized she had her pressure foot down and that was one of the problems. I also think she wasn’t putting the needle at the right height. My heart hurts for her as I have seen her slow down quite a bit this winter. She was so thankful and I finished a block to make sure the machine ran and put a drop of oil in the shuttle area. She said ‘thank you, Ray.’ Her late husband maintained her machines so that was a special compliment because he was a dear man.
