It was lovely to catch up with lots of people at the FOQ, especially the members of this group. I too was beginning to worry that I had left starting this challenge too late - I kept hoping for my new studio area to be ready to use, but alas it's still got no flooring or skirting boards. So now I have a couple of days to devote to my piece, but still no sewing machines set up. And I nearly made a fundamental error - it's so long since I have taken part I mis-remembered the size of the challenge. It was only as I was taping together my 24 inch by 24 inch pattern that I sensed something was wrong and went back to check on the website! Ah - 16 inch by 16 inch seems much more feasible in the time I have left.
So, my piece is likely to be made using fusible applique, but the chances of getting it quilted before the final date are extremely small. OK, back to a very hot, stuffy upstairs room to put together the new, smaller, pattern now.

It will be lovely to have you back in the fold, Linda. Just as it is to have Mai-Britt back. Not to worry about no sewing machining - that can come later. Good job your brain clicked in before you set off down the 24" square road!
ReplyDeleteHappy landings to Linda B who moves next week. Hope all goes smoothly.
