 Block ????

A Bevy of Beautiful (and not quite so beautiful) Bats ....



Im gradually understanding how to put this block together so you have mistakes up there as well, but am enjoying it very much.

Its Pieced ...YAY ... and I did wonder about doing a one off BOM of this in preparation for Halloween in a month or so's time.

What I do understand is that a black bat on a dark background, no matter how beautiful a blue, purple or whatever coloured fabric, will not show up ... so I changed one to a grey bat ... What do you think ...likey??? No likey???

Should I do a few more grey ???

and of course there is always one rebel!!!!

Well my part was extremely important @Lilian  ..

Firstly I bought the design, then I threaded the machine and then, and this bit is crucial .. you might like to note it down,
I pressed a button!

So, does it feel like your work ( I always wonder that about having something longarmed )?
Does it feel like you have just used patterned fabric or do you feel you had input?
Triumph of hope over experience :D

Mine does that too, but I haven't used the embroidery module for a while...will have to dust it off.
If you see me with a seam ripper, now is not a good time

I thought I'd posted in this recently (Today thread 31st August) ... So I've come back to this and have finished my ROC added some new residents and decided on what to do with the pattern (What pattern .. hahahahaaha)

I realised that I was soon going to run out of my sort of background fabric after googling to no avail, I remember I'd got if from a FOQ which of course I always brag about so found the retailer and placed an order on Sunday.
post

It arrived this morning all the way from Dutchland, beautifully packaged in a box and I was all happy

 BUT I have just opened it to find one piece is completely wrong! The bit I needed was correct but much darker and I added another metre of something that looked similar and they sent something completely different and totally wrong ...


HELP ... Ive FBed them but cant quote a code as all the codes are the same on the site ??!!!
Is there a way I can lighten the dark fabric ?

Just had a call from the lady from Creatotaal whos currently at a show in Holland and on her lunchbreak!

She apologised and said they have a lighter version of the script (Hooray) and she will send me pics of the other fabrics in the range for me to choose the correct additional one. She also said she would send me money for the postage for the return of the incorrect fabrics ...

All in all, despite the mix up, the service has been fab .. I ordered on the 31st, it arrived in DDD this morning from Dutchland .. After contacting them through FB they get back to me within 4 hours and as she is at a show, selling, that is pretty damned good!

Lets hope we can sort this out!
