After using avoidance techniques for a couple of days I decided that it was time to start adding the trapunto onto my quilt. With this being the first time I've ever used trapunto I was a little apprehensive but I have watched my mentor using this technique many times now so I had the gist of what was involved. It all started off very well with me starting with what appeared to me to be the most difficult part. This went brilliantly well so I moved onto the single parts. This was when it happened I got complacent and this lead to me putting a small cut into the front of my design.(I'm hoping that my mentor will be able to help me sort it out when she gets home from work because the thought of having to start over horrifies me but it would teach me to be more careful in future.

Oh I hate it when I do that - putting a cut in something is so frustrating - does happen all the time - be happy you didn't put a cut in yourself - that is even more annoying!
ReplyDeleteYou are absolutely right that would have been worse. Thank you for you encouragement.
ReplyDeleteHello! Your blog looks great :) Hope you get the litle cut sorted out. I did that just yesterday, but luckily it was before I started sewing the block together so I was able to just cut another bit of fabric. Fiona x
ReplyDeleteWelcome to blogland. I am sure you will be totally addicted like the rest of us before you know it. What you have done so far looks great!
ReplyDeleteI think we've all put cuts in something that we shouldn't at one time or another. I hope you can fix it without a re-do!
ReplyDeleteWelcome to blogland, a brilliant place to share and be loved and supported. I'm one of your stalkers now LOL
ReplyDeleteThank you ladies. A little bit of imagination and Ethne's advice means that I don't have to re-do my quilt woo hoo.
ReplyDeleteAh - I have a plan to sort out the cut - everything should be OK
ReplyDeleteTried to comment yesterday but failed - seems ok today tho.
ReplyDeleteBondaweb & Fraycheck can work wonders with little hiccups.
Thanks for adding my button to your blog - think this is the first time I have seen it on someone else's blog.
Welcome to the world of fun and obsession.
Ok this is my gazillionth attempt at saying the same thing - great that you are now a fully fledged member of blogland. I had a go at trapunto in college - respect to you my friend - it's gonna look brill. Jxo
