It's A Workout!

So, when I began this blog sixteen years ago I never seemed to have any difficulty finding things to post about. I was regularly keeping up with the goings on in and around Chez Goodneedle on an almost daily basis. Now, it's a workout. I don't know why. There are certainly no less things happening, that's for sure! And so, for today, accept this much: my current progress on the Workout Quilt from the Wonderful Curves Sampler Book. This one is nothing but fun, I'm halfway there! Thanks to all who've inquired about my whereabouts; all is well, and I'm still right here where I left off, stitching away. 

I shall return...

that pesky offending HST has been righted!

Stumped No More

I had been stumped by the four pointed star block pictured in a previous post. I couldn't identify it, or figure out how to piece it. Yesterday, I drafted it in EQ and printed out the exploded block diagram. (Once again, EQ to the rescue!) I printed the pieces onto freezer paper, cut them apart on the solid lines and pressed them onto the wrong side of the fabric. I added 1/4" all around, marked the corners and carefully stitched the pieces back together. I did stop, needle down, and pivot to accommodate that weird set-in shape; it worked perfectly.

Voilà! Success!!

If anyone is interested in the print-out for this six inch pieced block, let me know and I will be happy to e-mail you the pattern as a full sized attachment.

Life is Good!
