This morning I woke up to a small episode of vertigo, (blah.) so I've been poking around the house today and thankfully I've been able to sew a little. I had to be careful not to stand and lean over the table or tilt my head as I was cutting or I'd start to fall over! I've had it much worse before, so I'm just happy it's not like that this time.
I'm pretty badly behind on my Farmer's Wife blocks, but my stack is looking a little better now! I have a whopping 18 now! (woot!)
This round I decided to focus on just red and aqua. I like how Krystine does that with her blocks....(decides on a couple of colors) ...it really helped me not get overwhelmed with fabrics and color choices.
I got some new fabrics from Kerri, which I love and made me want to sew!
Pretty huh?
For some reason I sew my blocks 3 at a time....?????????? It's like 2 isn't quite enough, but after 3 I need a break and I need to clean up the kitchen table....(that's where I sew).
This time I did Spiderweb, Friendship and Farmer's Daughter
SPIDERWEB {83}
FRIENDSHIP {39}
FARMER'S DAUGHTER {32}
Little story...
When I was sewing my Friendship block, I was confused as to why things weren't matching up! I knew I had made a little error that I wasn't catching. I called Kerri because I knew she had made this block before. We talked for a few minutes about my block when I started listing off the template #'s ....and whatdoyaknow...one of them was the wrong template!!! By accident I had cut out the wrong one, but wasn't noticing it on my own. I knew I just needed somebody else to catch my mistake for me. My point in telling you this is so that if you run into troubles with a block, double check if you've cut the correct pieces. Some of them are very similar! If possible, call or email a fellow wifer....it helps to talk through what you've done. Remember, I made a silly mistake before and talking with another wifer really helped.
Moral of the story....
it's not easy being a Farmer's Wife...
...But OHHH, SO WORTH IT!
