JanRN,
I sent you a link about the Y seams with a tutorial, but I put it in the photo page thread instead of this one. Sorry. I'm going back to bed! |
I am happy with what everyone decides about the spring break/camp fire, just having so much fun making these blocks and enjoying the chat each week..
Should have been sewing with my embroidery club today but I am rained in and not going anywhere so DH might not get to town to get his paint (AAWWWW) so sad !!! |
Okay, A campfire thread it is and it will be posted on April 3,2012....I'm going to have some of that King chicken!!! H
|
Thanks, Janie. The pictures really helped. I'm going to try this method over the week-end. If it doesn't work, so be it. I'll come up with a substitute block but I really want to conquer those darn y seams. Thank you!
|
I saved the "y-seam" link so I have it when I get to those blocks. I am finally feeling better today...Lord willing I can make myself take it easy a couple more days so I don't relapse with another migraine. I go to the dr. Monday and she will adjust my meds. I was able to get things unpacked from the retreat and have my sewing machine all set up for when I want to sew. I still need to get pictures and post them...probably this weekend.
Thanks for all the "well wishes". This is such a nice group of ladies!! Carrie |
What is the best way to do Confederate Rose? Did you guys use the templates or PP? We just got back from a trip to Sacramento, then met up with our Camping Group for a 3 day camp out. I got Cat's Paw done while we were gone, but have not started Conf. Rose yet. Help!

JeanieG, I started PP'ing the centre of the Rose first then worked my way out to the outer corners. It went together quite well and I didn't have to reverse sew. Good luck
|
I did my confound rose with templates; marking back of fabric where seams met, stopping on that dot each time. Look at tutorial now posted and it may help you. All is not lost if you decide to "sub" another block. Better get the King Ranch Chicken going in the crock pot. Shhhh...I sub tortilla chips for tortillas..and it works well. Love lots of cheese in it...no corn this time. And my quick Pork Roast with apples and brown sugar over it and put it into the oven.
