Bit of Stitching

This morning after dropping the Grandies at the bus and clearing up decided to go into DD2’s craft room and raid her stash to do some stitching on the new machine.

 Jan-Maree from Aussie Hero Quilts gives us a different block each month to make and send to her. Which she then passes on to other lovely folk to  make into quilts for our servicemen and women serving overseas..
This months block was made up  of two 9” blocks. Sewn twice through the centre and cut in half to make two 8 1/2”blocks..   EASY!!!!

    I seem to do that - make the simplest things into hard work, and the job takes twice as long! At least you got it right in the end!!

    Isn't it always the way? Glad they blocks all worked out in the end and it's even better using up stash.

    How frustrating...Sometimes we are determined to prove to ourselves that we can do it right...even things that should be simple... I have done the same thing!
