Have not posted for a while because all sorts of things are going a bit haywire at the moment. My midarm has developed a fault and a time had been set for possible repairs...then we went into lockdown due to the Covid Delta strain. On top of that I developed a migraine which always takes me a few days to get over. Our lockdown is hopefully only for a week, but of course I had all sorts of appointments which all had to be cancelled and re-scheduled which left me somewhat 'out of sorts'. Structure, plans...all gone out of the window, not something I cope with very well at all.
So, all in all, a very unproductive week. In the end I started on a new pattern for my Etsy shop which should be quite fun to put together.
My test blocks
Even with that I made a mistake with my migraine brain. Cut out all my fabric needed for the pattern and then did several test blocks to work out how to best press the seams and check on accuracy, meaning I then had not enough to actually do all the blocks, then mis-cut some of the red fabric...the list goes on. You have to laugh sometimes. Today I have a clearer head and we are back on track. Found some more red fabric in my 'bitses box' which saved the pattern and in thinking this through realised that I can make do with what I have. Was able to knock off the Woven Ribbon blocks and am starting on the other block. Should come out nice and colourful. Even made some notes as I went along so the write up of the pattern should not take that long.
Hopefully things will start to settle down and our lockdown will finish next week so that I can get back on track.

I'm glad your 'bitses box' came to your rescue. Those are colorful blocks. I hope the migraine is over and that your mid arm is sorted soon!
ReplyDeleteSorry to hear you are back in a lock down. But good to stay safe. I also hope you can get your sit down machine working perfectly very soon. Pretty blocks!
