Another day and all is going well. There is more sewing, pinning and cutting. More ironing and pin pulling, and then I hit the wall. Why are my seams not lining up? How did this row get to be a half an inch longer than the last row? Why do I have to start fighting all this puckering? I was doing so good. Maybe a little nap would help. Ok, I didn't take a nap but I did walk away for a break. As it turns out a little change in the seam allowance adds up over all those seams. Hey, it's my first quilt I can make a few mistakes. :)
A very cool thing happened today. I ran out of my first bobbin of thread. I know it sounds like a little thing, but it kind of give you a little sense of accomplishment going through that much thread. I reloaded and headed back into the fray.
Do to a few minor hiccups I only got one more run done in my short time at the wheel, but I think it looks pretty cool.
And just to let you all know Andrea is hard at work as well. She has been working on Bearmojo stockings to get ready for the upcoming holiday season. Look for them soon on Bearmojo.etsy.com, or contact us through to order one. If you have a favorite color I am sure we can find a cute little monster that wants to come to your home.
