a new round of wrestling

I think - now - it was a really really really nutty idea to quilt this thingy in circles. - Why did noone warn me? fellow quilters are not supposed to let others walk blindinly into circle sewing hell!

a difficult start

no worries the white tape is just for the thump - got hit by a ball and bent a little too much. The white is nicer than the purplish blue though ... the blue band aid on the pinky- well I was really stupid moving my sewing machine over a bit, touched one of the little light bulbs - and I know you are not supposed to put band aids on blisters, but I can't have spots on my white quilt ...

corners need straightening out
aren't those socks fabulous?

See how so not good the fabric placement is for quitling? I don't know what I did wrong with the initial basting, but I seriously had to re-do it in the corners. Any ideas as to why that happend?

straight corners!

I shall continue with the circling with now newly basted straight corner. That's the reason for an unvoluntary break - but it's time for dinner anyway

not the best reason for a quitling break

the end of torture is drawing near

It was an interessting experience, but I don't think I'm looking forward to writing a paper in English again - ever. My "thoughs" need to be turned into "howevers" and I seem to constantly mess up the use of "these" and "those" and have an un-English high use of "the". Did I mention I suck at punctuation?

Thankfully, for the sake of my sanity (and that of any other person daring to distract me while writing) it's almost done and I'm in the process of letting it sit and give the whole thing a break for a last read-trhough and last minute change session over the weekend.

So yeah I'm into "sewig" again - I didn't really do anyhting apart from preparing sport shorts for this summer = sew the pockets shut so I don't get disqualified.

I'm presenting the beginnings of: "Keen on Green" for mochawildchild

Keen on Green - DQS - 3/2014

And I made a dent in circling the square ....
