Bone tired! I'm home - happy - but tired. Mind you I'm one of those people who crawl into bed early (you know as you age you need more beauty rest...heaven knows I need a lot) At the retreat I would go to bed late (for me...) but couldn't sleep until way after MIDNIGHT! And - this is the best part...I was awake at 5am each morning...except for today - slept in until 5:45. I don't know how but I managed to function - and quite well I might add. I sewed, I entertained, I laughed, I was happy!
Remember I said I was taking my resolution for June with me. The Double Wedding Ring? The pile of parts? Well check this out!
I have one more row to add. I had said that I would like to make one of these for each of my 3 grandchildren...Well guess again! What a PITA! They might get a 3 ring table runner!
Then I started a new project - remember Cinco de Mayo? Well I DID try. My thought was 2 blocks maybe 3. HAAAAAA I made ONE...
It took me 14 hours to finish it. Has anyone heard of "Y" seams in a PP pattern? I had no clue how to work that out. First section I DID try to sew them...THAT didn't work. Then I tried piecing it in a different order and make the 2nd section in 5 different section then sewed them together. BUT I worried that this one section wouldn't fit on to the first...so the 3rd time I decided to fold it under and move on. This method worked the best. So AFTER FOURTEEN HOURS (not sewing nonstop - but sewing a LOT) I had results. Decided that boring DWR wasn't as bad as I thought. rofl!
As soon as some people post pictures of the retreat I'll snag them and tell you all about it tomorrow.
Tonight..................................SLEEP!
