Min stakkars venninde Røde Jane har hatt en liten pause. Mer eller mindre frivillig, forteller hun meg :-). Datter Marit fant ut at det ble for travelt å sy disse blokkene i tillegg til alt det andre hun hadde på listen sin, og spurte pent om hun kunne få trekke seg ut av vår Sewalong. Så da får jeg fortsette på egen hånd.
My poor friend Red Jane has had a small break. Not really what she had asked for, she tells me :-). Daughter Marit found it to be to much work to make these blocks in addition to all the other projects on her list, and asked nicely if it was ok that she pulled out of our Sewalong. Well, I am on my own from now.
Disse jeg nå har sydd var jo allerede klargjort, så det var jo bare å sette seg ned og sy. Men fy tusan, så mye pirk!
B-5 Hot cross bun. Her har jeg brukt motsatt applikasjon, dvs lagt mønsterstoffet bak, og klippet hull i fasong i hovedstoffet. Når jeg ser nøye på bildet, så burde jeg sydd med rød tråd. Men det vil ikke synes når alt er sydd sammen. Grei trøst. Jeg bruker samme trøsten på annen hver blokk.
The blocks I made now were really all ready prepped, so all I had to do was to sit down by the sewing machine and sew. But so much fiddling!
B-5 Hot cross bun. Here I used reverse applique, placed the secondary fabric behind the main fabric, and cut hole in the right shape on the top fabric. When I look close at this picture, I see that I should have used red thread. But it will not show when everything is put together. Great comfort, I seem to use it for every other block I make.
Dette er M-11, Rickshaw. Her var det kun papirsøm med maskin.
This is M-11 Rickshaw. The only technique used is paper piecing.
C-7 Megan's Mountain Laurel er, i følge Aunt Reen en av de vanskeligste og mest utfordrene blokkene. Bedre ferdig enn perfekt, skriver hun. Jo takk, der kan jeg nok være enig. Men egentlig ble ikke denne blokken så ille. I hverfall ikke på oversiden!
C-7 Megan's Mountain Laurel is, according to Aunt Reen one of the most challenging and tricky blocks in the quilt. Better finished than perfect, she says, and I could not agree more! But this turned out rather nicely, I think. At least on the front side.
Baksiden er litt annerledes... Det er bare å stryke det godt ned så blir det bra :-)
The back side looks a bit different...I just have to iron it flat and it will be great :-)
oh my Siri you are clever that last block looks so hard,well done.xx
SvarSlettWell done Siri- they are an amazng amount of work each. Noooooo the back doesn't matter! No one will see it. :-) Yes better done than perfect. As I said to Suzie earlier, perfect people aren't very happy people. (Does that make me oh so so happy??? LOL)
SvarSlettSå flotte de ble! C7 er imponerende!!!
SvarSlettHa - love the back of your megan's mountain laurel. I feel better now! : ) that was a bit of a beast, no? : ) glad to see you're back on the janes.
