I am surprised I have any hair left

I just realized my pattern is going to run off the cloth. I am on page 21 of 31 pages and there is only enough material for 5 more pages. Aaagh!!!















If I end it here I have a cover for my footstool. I am thinking of starting a new piece--starting with page 15, ending with page 31. I think I will have enough to cover my piano stool. I will start in the center of the fabric and work to the outside, staying in a circle the size of the piano stool. I think I don't know what I am talking about. So much for lemonade...

I Demolished My Wall Hanging

I spent the morning learning how to to machine satin stitch around my applique pieces, totally wrecking every corner of every block of my wall hanging. After I ran out of corners I started in the middle of my leaves and 'walla'--I finally got the hang of it!!!
