Mystery wall hanging.
Weather here is damp, cold, & grey. Lots of time to sew. Even hand sewing goes quickly. Hoping for some sun soon, but forecast is for more rain & tornado tomorrow.

Army lady, I know all about reading directions. One tip that I learned many years ago and really liked was to make a sample block of any pattern before you start cutting your good fabric. The neat thing I learned was to set aside some of your stash that coordinates and make all your sample/ trial blocks out of the same fabrics or similar colors and at some time in the future you collect enough blocks to make a sampler block quilt and all the blocks coordinate. That is one of the best planning and learning tips I have learned over the years.
I like that star pattern you are working on. The rich dark blues are wonderful.

ube quilting, the problem I had was with FQ's the pattern needed 4 of them and then when I went to cut the material 2 of the FQ's were too short. The pattern called for them to be cut 22 inches long and of course a real quilter would know that FQ's are 21 inches. Lesson learned I went to Joann's today and got some other material it is in the washer now.

GramE I Love your stars and diamonds, can't wait to see what you create. I am new to quilting and I don't know what Ink lingo is but I will be googling it because if it gives you lines to sew on that would help me out a lot.

I have been in Nashville for the past 10 days or so visiting with daughter and hearing her give a presentation - we had a busy and fun time together. She plays in kickball league on Sun afternoons - we had a beautiful day other than a friend, the first kicker, planted and stepped towards first base and tore his achilles tendon. So surgery on Tuesday and out for up to a year. Bummer. She and the other captain told everyone to make sure and stretch - guess they won't have to repeat it at practice next time.
I am thinking about joining in - have wanted to in the past but have had different issues that kept me from it. So spring seems to be clear sailing at the moment - but with me things can turn on a dime.
