Perhaps if you invited her to guest post on your blog and show her progress, a few comments of encouragement on her work so far will help her get her enthusiasm back for the project. Then she could guest post periodically to show her progress.<br /><br />xo -ElElizabethhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/07980461113595763030noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5259952795997957550.post-282680905928906482011-02-07T18:02:31.157-06:002011-02-07T18:02:31.157-06:00I like your project linus quilt top, it is very so...I like your project linus quilt top, it is very soothing with the fish and boyish too. You did a good job at learning what not to do on your good shirt, that is what the muslin is for practice. Sorry about Sydney's cutting woes. Did you happen read Bonnie Hunter's post about her baby quilt and her 1/4 seam allowance being off? Very encouraging, tell Sydney she is in good company with some of the best quilters out there.Tammyhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/18053469261622557578noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5259952795997957550.post-55400657423581335662011-02-07T15:40:36.259-06:002011-02-07T15:40:36.259-06:00Glad to hear you learned so much from your first m...Glad to hear you learned so much from your first muslin. Trial and error is the best lesson sometimes. <br /><br />So sorry to hear that Sydney had a problem with her cutting. I am sure she will get back to it. Sometimes we all need to walk away.<br /><br />I can't believe you were tired of your seewing room!!Anonymoushttps://www.blogger.com/profile/01542918863237046287noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5259952795997957550.post-32417449434924083602011-02-07T13:56:35.938-06:002011-02-07T13:56:35.938-06:00I am constantly getting my rulers mixed up - some ...I am constantly getting my rulers mixed up - some have a extra 1/2" some don't. My solution? Glow tape. You don't have to tape the whole line (Sometimes I just put an X on the side I don't want to use.) You can see through it, and it comes off clean. A great insurance policy in my book. You can get it in lots of places, but this is what I'm talking about - http://www.nancysnotions.com/product/supplies/marking+tools/omnigrid+glow-line+tape.doMissaB26https://www.blogger.com/profile/14651034324197403307noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5259952795997957550.post-16941027514391883012011-02-07T12:22:44.294-06:002011-02-07T12:22:44.294-06:00Tell Sydney I feel for her.

I just went through the hassle of getting my January UFO project ready to pin baste.....basted 3/4 of it, only to find 4 blocks on the perimeter of one side facing all wrong!! I went ahead and pinned it and am going to start quilting. When I get to the outside I'll probably rip the blocks and hand stitch them back in....but for now I am just ticked off about the whole thing. Hang in there, Sydney!!!Beckyhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/14082295990536140884noreply@blogger.com
