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.
