After a bit of a poke around in the die bin, tried this size for another DJ B1.
What is it about this block? I swear I forget how to appliqué circles every time I try it. lol
The choice of fabric may have been influenced a bit by the lunar eclipse. 😉 Did you watch it? We had thick cloud cover, so I flipped between NASA and a few observatories on YouTube. The first thing i thought of when i saw Morocco was what a fabulous color it would be for quilting fabric. lol My favorite was California's firey red.
I have the Skyview app on my phone. It identifies stars, constellations etc. If it's a clear night I'm usually out in the yard, holding my phone up checking out whatever is up there with the night sky.
This is my sewing set up. It may not be glamorous, but it works! It's really handy being portable. A few minutes here and there add up.
The only thing it needed was a pincushion, so of course I had to make a new one with the reject from A1. 😉
This is the thread for sewing the buttons on B1. I could have used black or red, since it doesn't show that much. This thread was much more fun....pretty and silky. I don't have a ton of fancy threads for machine quilting, but every one is varigated.
The details.
Progress on A1. Frixon pens are great when I do daft things like draw the sewing lines for the triangles on the front of the fabric.
Waiting for a seam roller to arrive in the mail. Finger pressing doesn't give enough of a crease. Tried it with my nail, but that put weird tiny puckers in the seam.
We got our booth number today. The pic is one of the bracelets I've made. It's my fave, so I'll be making one for myself in a while.
Love your blocks and your bracelet. I hope you sell LOTS at your booth - ;))
ReplyDeleteMy nails are so soft, I can't use them for pressing in a crease. So if my roller or iron isn't handy, or if the piece is small, I use the back of a spoon. I don't "iron" with it, but roll it back and forth.
ReplyDeleteYour button bracelets are pretty, love that red thread. Good luck at the booth!
