I was going to be part of a sew along a couple of months ago with Tonya Owens from HillbillyHandiworks.com I had trouble keeping my right foot on the sewing machine pedal until it finally occurred to me Just glue down your shoe. By golly it worked. Then I placed the foot pedal so it could not slide away from me and I was sewing again. I have been struggling with sewing by machine for sometime. I wonder if DMV would let me glue my shoe to the gas pedal in the car...lol...only kidding.
Once I could sew I got out my Ricky Tims" book and started to choose the fabric. I wanted it to be joyous and colorful to match my mood. And perhaps like a garden going into fall.
And went on and on.
Next time will use more spray starch and less than 1/4 " seams...you'll see if you do one. Then I did pin and pin. Maybe because I am from a pinning generation.
Finally first stage done. Tomorrow will blog on about the squaring and the border and the applique. Also about a traveling stash. Other projects in the making is the EPP ongoing quilt and a Wonky I Spy quilt for a 3 year old for Christmas. Come with me on this journey
I can't explain the full process here you will have to get the book to follow along. I got my copy from Amazon.com. Have I told you all yet how much I like our Amazon prime membership?
And so the Convergence began.
