Why???
Well, the reason is simple. My units for the GIMQ turned out MUCH better today than the ones I made last night!! I never quite remember that I have difficulty sewing late into the evening. THIS would be the reason that I need to file in (and retrieve from) my memory bank.
About the too early thing...
I got up at 5:45 AM to get myself, the house, and DS2 going. Why so early? The SAT requires that students who are testing need to arrive between 7:30 and 7:45 AM!!! DS2 was one of those lucky testers today.
What was the FIRST thing that I did in my sewing room???
I sat the iron RIGHT ON MY FINGER, instead of on the fabric that I was aiming for! OUCH!!! That poor little finger burned for HOURS.
It didn't get any better...
Next I pressed fusible stabilizer to my pressing cloth (instead of the T-shirt that I was preparing for a client.) That was bad enough, but...
I did the SAME THING again a few minutes later!!!
That's when I decided that it was time to put in some time on my GIMQ. Fortunately, my luck had changed and (as I mention at the top of the post) this batch turned out MUCH better than the last. Thank goodness! That means that I might yet avoid the dreaded paper-piecing method for making these units. :o))
Look! I added another 1/10 of the total number of blocks for a total of 2/10 of the way there. Hooray!! I'm 1/5 of the way through the making of these units. (Oh! Scary! I did MATH.)
I'm trudging through this clue. The pile is growing. The MORE blocks that I make...
The FEWER blocks remain to be made! That makes me... HAPPY!!! :o))
Until next time...
Happy Quilting!!!
