Howdy!
Not playing hooky this time. Nope, I’m neck deep in the Hoffman Challenge, which is due July 25th. I don’t really think I’m an accomplished enough seamstress to actually win, but I fell in love with this year’s challenge fabric, so I decided to give it a shot.
So…after 75 (yes, 75) different rough drafts (thank goodness for EQ6), I finally came up with a design I liked. However, since the patches involved are fairly small triangles, I am doing it all by hand–machine-piecing triangles is just asking for stretchy bias hassles. And since I’m rather new to this hand-sewing business, the piecing is going very slllooowwwly.
So, off I go to stitchy-stitch whilst the Punkin sleeps.
TTFN
