My mother’s grandmother told her that every stitch you sew on Sunday, you have to take out with your nose in hell. That’s pretty much how the day felt. I worked on my Around the World quilt for a couple hours, but ended up spending more time pulling out stitches out than sewing.
However, the day was not a total failure. My new design wall:
I used black-out fabric that doesn’t let any light shine through. This fabric is typically used for curtains, but I had a lot of it lying around from my husband’s dark room. The texture is just right so my ironed pieces stick to it without any pinning. Batting or flannel would also work well. I think my designs will be framed nicely by the black color.
