Friday night with Friends



 I worked on my SKOW quilt last night,as it is for my GD's birthday on the 10th of January,i wont get it finished on time so i am aiming for the end of the month.

So i started sewing all the rows together and i thought what the heck the 2nd panel is too short.This was doing my head in trying to find out where i went wrong,then just before i put it away i worked out the problem is in my 1st row of blocks they are too big,dont know what i was thinking when i made up that row,so a lot of reverse stitching will be done on Sunday,Sat is out as we have a wedding to go to.
Thursday night i got another block done and last night i also got another block ready to start needle turning,so slowly but surely i will get there.A big thankyou to Chez for hosting our night of stitching,to see what everyone else was up to go here.,hope you all had a good night.
cheers shez xx

  2. Oh I wondered what 'reverse stitching' was - silly me! I do things like that ALL the time - think it's the perpetual rush I'm in...it looks beautiful and will be cherished I'm sure.

  3. Going great Shez....can you not just add more blocks to row two rather than reverse stitching?

  7. A quilt can always be longer... just add patchwork blocks. No need to reverse anything.. go forward instead. :)
    Enjoy the wedding...

  10. Shez that SKOW is too gorgeous to do any reverse or "frog" stitching. I agree with everyone who says "just add some patches to the bottom"...........sometimes mistakes make the best adaptions to patterns.....and this way you can make it "your own"......have fun at the wedding. How are Mum and Dad doing?

  12. So annoying when that appends, but at least it can be fixed. Not so easy when the pieces are too small. Enjoy the wedding, hope it's not too hot.

  15. Hm...I think I'd rather just add more fabric to the second row than unstitch! It's looking wonderful!

  27. Oh I love your little blue house Shez, is it around Ballarat & is it up for sale???? You are a super stitcher, aiming to get the quilt finished by the end of the month. I've no doubt you can do it. I have serious doubts about when I will finish mine! Tracee xx

  31. Your quilt is looking gorgeous. I had a similar 'what was I thinking' moment on Friday night, when I managed to sew a foot on backwards on my cat toy. Thank goodness for quick-unpicks!

  32. Oh I hate it when the brain you use for one row doesn't seem to be the same brain you use for others :) The least they could do is chat to each other, lol. Your blocks are looking great, such fun stitching with you :)

  33. Oh darn. At least you found out before having more done, and more reverse sewing to do. It is going to look beautiful.
