Only one more block to go. This one is sort of OK. My color choices were a bit ugly, but it is a barn, so I guess it is OK. Only that pesky owl is left. I am doing quilt as you go, so I have no idea what it will look like.
What is this photo? Well, this would be a group of 4 inch square blocks that was somewhere on my table and I managed to quilt it into the quilt I was working on. Lesson learned – TOTALLY CLEAN OFF YOUR TABLE WHEN YOU QUILT SOMETHING. Duh. SO I picked out some stitching after mumbling under my breath quite a bit. This was the second oops while quilting this quilt. The first one was when I tried to use a silky thread on the top and in the bottom and crazy stuff started happening. Loops and well…just plain crazy stuff. Once I went to a cotton on the top, all craziness ceased.
Happy Sewing
Happy Quilting
Love the ones you are with
The color choices seem fine to me!

Well, there is nothing like working on an applique block and wondering why the block will not lay flat in my lap! OH I sewed a corner of the background to the piece of applique I am working on! I have done this so I definitely understand how you feel! Your Barn is cute!
Have a good evening.

The case of the missing blocks. I hope it wasn’t too much trouble getting unquilted from your quilt. BTW, your block is just fine. It’s not one I would redo.

Hi Lori! At least you cut your loses on the slippery thread and got back to your senses right away. I sewed one of those slippery slider things to my quilt once. That was the end of that helpful thing. Obviously I didn’t need any help sliding things under the needle. I think the fabric you selected for your barn are perfect – at least where I live, barns are that color. ~smile~ Roseanne

I love your barn Lori! Your batiks are so pretty. I’m excited to see your Fall QAL quilt.
You made me laugh, I alwaysseem to have a messy sewing space and it causes all kinds of craziness! You think I’d learn by now

I swear, I will never learn… I look at things and say I should clean that up first and then start sewing something else. Part of my quilting ADD.

Been there and so have done that!!!! Also, have been machine quilting and had a significant piece of the backing flip under and get stitched (heavily) into the very wrong place!!!! (one of the disadvantages of stitching on a sit-down machine!!!) You would think I would learn after a few times…hmmmmm????? LOL!!!

I have quilted in the Extra fabric edge more times than I care to admit. I just don’t think about when I site down to quilt. Super frustrating and I am not sure I will ever learn.

I really like your barn as is – the colors are very pretty! I have done just the same thing and I agree it’s super frustrating! I also should clean up my space before stitching (or pinning things together), but I really like sewing – cleaning up? Not so much!
