What's Your Sign?

No, not the zodiac thing. This sign is a big one I am going to make and put in my sewing room.  NO SEWING AFTER 9PM.  SEAM RIPPERS ARE NOT GOOD FOR FABRIC.   I'm working on a simple wall hanging for my kitchen (I'm calling it "Kitchen Saito" as an homage to Yoko Saito...)  Yoko would tell me that after sewing the WRONG sides of blocks together not once, not twice, but THREE TIMES in about 10 minutes constitutes some serious stupid.   I roughed out some blocks, made a bunch of yoyo's and had the idea for the horizontal side of the hanging come to me and I was so excited I ran upstairs and started sewing away.  Uffda.  What a mess.  Japanese fabric is too expensive (and unravels so easily) that I can't afford to mess up like this.  So I just piled up everything on my ironing board and I'll sort it out tomorrow. In daylight. With coffee. The finished product will be much nicer, I promise.  I just can't work on it tonight.....it's 9:35PM.

    Can't wait to see the finished product. Where did you get the fabric? How come I don't get an email when you post?

    You need to "subscribe" to get notifications of blog updates! (See upper left hand side.) I bought the fabric at the New England Quilt Museum gift shop; they have a marvelous assortment of fabrics. A few of them I bought in Japan, but I'm rationing those out like crazy. It has to be a very worthy project!

    I'm serious as a heart attack. There are times when I have done more damage after 9PM than I could have believed possible. I'm still unraveling one that should have been a completed project about a month ago!

    I am the same way... I've tried to sew at night and it never works out. Not to mention there's no lamp as good as natural light. That I can afford right now. :)
