IT WORKS!




Hope I am not boring you with my square in a square! I am just "beyond" being full of excitement about it because is works!! NO MORE long strips of sewing pieces together and hoping they are straight enough to cut my next pieces from them..Of Course, you have to sew straight on these, but she just broke some rules I guess! Sharp points drove me away!! NO more! and flying geese!! Thank you JODI!!!!... Jodi is also making 12 more applications of the square in a square(sns), more diamond patterns...and the ideas she uses for the borders are just tremendous too!
My sis and friend Lori is busy working at the school. The snows drove my hubby home and now he has bursitis in his elbow! So, he is resting it! My son is recording a band here, they are such great kids!
Back to the topic"... Now! have I inspired you to actually go to the squareinasquare.com website and watch her video!! Maybe we can organize a retreat here at the cabin and teach it! Sounds like a plan to me!!
Oh, also! do try the stack of sticky notes taped onto your sewing machine at the 1/4 inch (scant) for guiding your chain sewing! It totally works....ok, so what does not work? Making a piece 1/2 inch wider than it is suppose to be! Sorry, got the wrong measurement in my head and never realized it until I had to try to fit it against a smaller already in place piece in the top1 so! yep! remeasured and resewn!
So, now! confession of a quilter!!! and Quilted Blessings to you!! Kari
