TEAL WEDGE

 I inserted curvy bits into the teal wedge and joined it with the big parts of my Greensleeves project.  Looking great.  Now what?

MORE TEAL

 I trimmed up a few of the parts for my project and then they didn't fit right anymore.  It was very frustrating.  I was conflicted about what to do about it.  Should I add something in there? - then it would be wider and I really didn't want that.  Should I just sew them together as is?  - then it wouldn't be square anymore and I'd have to cut something off.  I decided to let it stew for a while.

Today, I went back up to the studio after staying away for a few days.

I looked at the project and decided to try putting some more teal in the gap.

What do you think?

STACK N CUT CURVES WORKSHOP

This weekend is the Stack-n-Cut Curves Workshop with Sherri Lynn Wood.  The guest speaker was supposed to be Irene Roderick, but she was not feeling well and couldn't attend.

Sherri showed us how to stack our shirt sleeves so we could get some mirror-imaged shapes.  Then she showed some methods for sewing curves.

I thought I understood, but when using prints it's more difficult.  And I had a difficult time with it.  I never did figure it out.  Maybe I should stick to solids that are two-sided.

My plan when I began was to use just my stack of greens and light greens, plaids and neutrals.  But I thought they looked a bit blah.  So I made another set with some fabrics with  brighter colors, one being Kona Pickle.  

I didn't think the two sets would work together, but they do.  

 

CHAINING

I spent my sewing day chaining these wedges.  They need to have a point on the end, made by sewing the top edges together.  

Then there was lots of ironing to do.
