It seems I've been unstitching more than stitching with this one 😄 the focus was to get her done so I didn't notice that the tension was off causing the back of the border strips a hot loppy mess lol all straightened out & going slow & easy getting them back on ,meanwhile I've decided to go with the print keyboard border so here's a sneak peak of the direction it's going
And even though a little is better than nothing I've rethought that process lol prep, cutting,unpicking etc takes up most all the time for a finish so I'm thinking I need a prep day ,for example these blocks go together quickly once cut ,it's the cutting of (2) 6 1/2" (4) 3 1/2" (16) 2" to make one block
The 16" blocks are just 5" squares but overthinking prints colors etc take over so I need to just start cutting 5" squares like a mad woman🤣
I keep a notebook of what & how,fabrics, yardage,sizes,etc of things I make ,for the 16 patch I need 20 for a lap (56X 66) for a full 30 (84 X73) so yea I need to just have a prep marathon😄 on a brighter note I was able to stay home yesterday with no interutions,cleaning around the house,unending picking out the polka dot border,worked on my slow stitch journal cover, made a new salad ,later in the evening took Grace🐕 to the park
A few highlights of the beauty of yesterday's adventure to the park
The salad is spinach, strawberries,blueberries,blackberries pecans ,feta cheese
Dressing
2 tbsp. olive oil
1 tbsp. lemon juice
1 tsp. honey
1 tsp. dejon mustard
I use the creamy one without the brown specks it has a milder sweeter flavor
salt/pepper opt.
The original recipe calls for mango, blueberries & walnuts,I used the fruit I had & pecans
