I spent the lesson sewing blocks 3 and 4 and they turned out like this
I really like how this one turned out |
not sure about this one......I don't really like red and yellow together |
After sewing these two blocks it was time to start laying out the blocks for 5 and 6. Up until now I was very strict about following the layout and colour plan but when I laid out block 5, I really didn't like the options so.......I deviated. There was a couple of ways I could go with this one. Wonder if you can guess which one I have chosen to do.
I had a couple of choices with Block 6 and I also mixed up the pattern a bit.
I was just about to start sewing these blocks but my sewing machine would not play nicely and it didn't matter what I did.......I switched it on and off, I rethreaded the top thread and the bobbin several times, I played around with the tension.......nothing worked.......she just wasn't in the mood to sew! So that was that and I spent the rest of the class playing with my left over fabrics and chatting to the others about their blocks.
Miss Phaff is currently in the sewing machine hospital but I will get her back in a few days and then I will write the next part of this mystery!
Some days just go that way! Hope there is nothing seriously wrong with your machine.
