Well, between finishing Smile and volunteering for the vaccine clinics, I did manage to play with fabric. Yay!
First, I had to clean my sewing machine which didn't appreciate it, I guess because it wasn't sewing properly after. !!
It broke two needles and bent one out of shape! It would sew just fine when I tried it without the plate. Every time I screwed the plate back on, the thread would catch on something and everything went to hell from there. I let it sleep on it for a couple of nights while I finished Smile. One morning, I put the plate back on and everything was fine. It sews perfectly now. Go figure!!
My Personal RSC for Purple is the Framed 9-Patch blocks. I have a collection of 16 blocks made back in 2016. Don't remember why I stopped making these. Probably too many projects on the go. Nah! That couldn't be it. 😝
So I got the multi-coloured basket out and dived in. A piece 12 X 6 inches (like this happy, bright, colourful one) is big enough to make a block but which colour should the solid be?? (Answer at the end)
My multi-coloured basket is overflowing. Hopefully, making these blocks will reduce the bump a little.
Five more Framed 9-Patch are now done. Three from the multi-coloured scrap basket ...
... and two from the purple scrap basket.
And the answer is ORANGE! Orange goes so well with purple even though it isn't in the print.
And some more HSTs, of course. What would my life be without some HSTs?
;^)
