I saw this and had a plan. I wonder is that what I was going to write in my book... :thinking:

Have you remembered yet, @wrenkins  ;)

Here's the first August one. It seemed a bit tricky-dicky and all that trimming has made my neck-ache much worse. May need to visit the chiropractor before tackling no.2  -<

I have introduced a new fabric this month. The lovely batik raindrops were going to be used but, from previous experience, I know that a one-direction design is a bit of a nightmare in HSTs and QSTs so went for something that could be any way round so as not to waste the raindrop fabric. I'm quite pleased with it especially as it was a bit of a punt a considered choice when I was shopping for a different project.

I've nearly finished the Maple Leaf - it's a right old slog, especially in this heat. I have the appointment with chiropractor on Tuesday  :[

The Pfaff foot control is still not working properly and the chap didn't return the power cable so I had to half-inch the one off the radio. I shall be Having Words   :S

I think I need a cupboardful of Garibaldis after this one. 60 bits just for one block  :faints: Safe to say I shan't be making this one ever again!  And the bloomin' thing's turned out 13" square  :S



One of the joins I did 6 times  :rolleyes:

I've learnt that lesson the hard way, @Lowena  ;)

Tbh I would probably have left it but I can't do any actual quilting until my Pfaff is properly sorted out - the chap who repaired it is going to order a new foot-controller as the repair he did has only improved things a little.
