There's less than 20 sides to stitch down on this project. It got bogged down on the last round when I used thicker than normal junk mail to cut out the hexies. This project is glue basted (I swing between glue and thread basting depending on what I feel like doing at the time) and it was only after finishing basting ALL the hexies (with not spare fabric) that I realized the card was too thick to fold in half properly. So, progress has been slow, as I get sick of working on it after battling with a few hexies.</div><div><br /></div><div>Aurifil Makeo 80wt is my new favorite thead for hand stitching English Paper Piecing. It's very fine and just sinks in between the hexies. It breaks fairly easily with being a fine thread, but that's an easy fix.....be gentle!</div><div><br /></div><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"><a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEi1kbOOY1QdsdvjnM2jRkU5GJ6vR6_q3yUv-P2HsqrbYdWV7JWQqr8-8CDFDxbrmBHIV2ifjAe79prhTlRW__2RnyrYqgpL0iN9tDnKqmhs3eEphP23FGtAe-Z_N4rvdL3asrrd4FgCdI5UkeRx9XtKgatEQlE2lvl9QpIzdMb5wO_sx9A-r4wgloPyKQ/s3147/20230516_044618.jpg" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img border="0" data-original-height="3147" data-original-width="2618" height="320" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEi1kbOOY1QdsdvjnM2jRkU5GJ6vR6_q3yUv-P2HsqrbYdWV7JWQqr8-8CDFDxbrmBHIV2ifjAe79prhTlRW__2RnyrYqgpL0iN9tDnKqmhs3eEphP23FGtAe-Z_N4rvdL3asrrd4FgCdI5UkeRx9XtKgatEQlE2lvl9QpIzdMb5wO_sx9A-r4wgloPyKQ/s320/20230516_044618.jpg" width="266" /></a></div><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"><br /></div><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">I feel like I'm beginning to get the hang of very basic crochet skills.

It's to replace the folding table from Wally World that is the current cutting table. It came in pieces, so I gave Grey a hand by holding all the bits as he screwed them together. There's a decent LED light on the top and the bottom shelf is going to be really handy for storage.
