30/30 Sewing Challenge

Berry Barn Designs

I DID it!.....giggle
I sewed my 30 minutes a day and then a little for the first week of March.

Here are my results!


Block 20 for The Ben Franklin Mystery at Erik Homemade

~~~~~~~~~~

Next was the March Block from The Hexie Blog QAL.

2014 Hexie BOM


This is just laying on the possible background.

~~~~~~~~~~
I started a new project The Gypsy Wife.

GypsyWifeQAL

I was suppose to use 4 fabrics to make the Color Wheel block and only used two.  I think I just lost the flavor of the quilt.  Maybe I'll make a new block or I can rename it the Gypsy's Wife (whose not a Gypsy) and keep it plain....giggle.


I think I'm going to have to work on sewing on the wild side.  This is so strange, because I lived on the wild side until I got a brain.  I need to try to relive my youth through my fabrics.



The Gypsy  or Gypsy's Wife will be my new start for March if I remember to post it.

And of course a picture of my helper.  Yep, Elly is annoyed with me for sure.

Ben Franklin and I Still Can't


Block 19

......believe I did it again.  Several of the Ben Franklin Blocks last photo in the direction have looked separated like this.  It never occurred to me I wasn't suppose to sew them together, but leave them in 4 parts........Good Grief Charles Brown!!!
When will I learn to read directions.

To my regular followers this is no surprise.
Yes, right now I'm LOL at myself.

By now I'm an expert at using my seam ripper.  We all have our talents and that one is mine.

Dear Jane & Blog Help

 
A-1 Pinwheel Gone Awry
 
Dear Jane
 
 
I scanned and saved the photo to my computer.  It looks normal on my computer, but when I add it to my blog it looks warbley (I know it's not a word :) )  I've resized the block before adding it from normal to small and it still does the same thing.  My last DJ block did the same thing as well.
 
Is anyone else having this problem??
 
Thanks!
