I hope you had a fun and productive night.
I finished the cross stitch that is part of what I am making for the Initial Heart Swap.
I hope you can see that those are little spools of thread...so cute!!
In my previous post, I described how I learned from watching a video how to make half square triangles without all the fabric marking as in the old fashioned way. I used one charm pack of blue and white squares and I cut an equal amount of white squares. Last night I made all the cuts, and this is how many half square triangle pairs I ended up with.
There is more welcome rain on the way today, which is why the pictures are a bit dull. I will be spending plenty of time with the iron to press open all these pairs. They have not told me what they want to be yet...maybe flying geese, or stars, or pinwheels...but I do know that at least part of them will be new Blankets of Love. I'm off to see how everyone else did. xx debbie
That is quite a pile. Its a very nifty method that. Ive never tried it but I've seen it a fair bit. Happy pressing.
ReplyDeleteIt is nice not to do all the tracing, that's for sure. I must try it with larger blocks too. xx debbie
Deleteyou did well Debbie,can i ask which video you watched was it utube? xx
ReplyDeleteHi Shez, yes, you can find Missouri Star Quilt Co there and they have their own website too. There are heaps of videos, but my 3 faves are the one I mentioned, the Trip Around the World, and another that shows a cool way to make 4 patch blocks too. The lady in the videos is so charming :) xx debbie
DeleteWhat a pile of pressing!! Could be worse though it could be clothes!
ReplyDeleteNice big pile ...
