YELLOW ARC

 Over the last few days I've been piecing together the convex part of the 34" drunkard's path, the final block for my Fibonacci spiral.  Today I sewed the small yellow bias strip onto the arc.

REALLY SMALL

 I paper pieced the smallest pieces for the Equinox, Fibonacci Spiral.  I drew it out on freezer paper, cut the fabrics and sewed them on.

And, no, it was not that simple.  There was some cussing and unsewing and re-doing involved.  But, it turned out really nice so I then made the two inch block in the same manner.

Here's a shot of the two inch - I couldn't do either without a lot of pins.


Now I'm excited to get onto the rest of them.

BACK TO DAISY

 I didn't work on it yesterday, but I'm back to working on my Improv Daisy.  It's big pieces and curves.  At the end of the day I'm about 3/4 of the way done with the top.  Woohoo!  But, if the center comes together it will be a miracle!

WORKING ON IMPROV DAISY

 Our Brave Patch community is currently working on their Improv Daisy patterns.  So, I got mine out and started working on it again.

I had stopped because I was stumped on  how to proceed.  I got some advice and decided to just do one bit at a time and not worry about the whole thing.

That worked better for me and I was able to make some headway.  I've got the top left quarter sewn together.

97/100

Day Two of the Zoom Workshop with Sherri Lynn Wood - Bias Strip Daisy.  

I'm having a hard time with getting things to be flat.  Sherri says, just 'one step at a time'.  But, I get a little overwhelmed thinking about the whole project and have a hard time thinking about just doing one step.  I need to work on that.

I got this big insert for between the petals done and then put it up and I don't like it.  It's not what I envisioned.  Now I'm frustrated.


Overall, it was a fun workshop, but I'm still frustrated.

So, let's do something else:

96/100

Gotta get these out of the way so I can attend the Sherri Lynn Wood Zoom Workshop, Bias Strip Daisy I signed up for.


I took my computer up to the studio and tuned in to the workshop.  There were 86 attendees.  We learned how to make improv continuous bias strips first.  I've made so many continuous bias strip bindings that it was second nature.  The only difference being not marking lines for the 2-1/4" wide strips.  Instead, we just cut the strips with scissors, making them as wide or narrow as we wanted.
After class there was an optional free-sew which I attended. I wanted to make some more strips and get some 'petals' made.
