Hello, fellow stitchers.
April is here......I have all of the panel for March and April together...alas, it came out longer than the previous ones so I've spent the morning ripping out seams and shortening blocks....they're all back together now and I see I still need to shorten it about a quarter inch..so back to the seam ripper...I'll take it off the top of the rainbow block as it seems to have more fabric access....then I'll be ready to sew that long strip in between....I think what happens is that I cut my blocks 1/2 inch larger to begin with as suggested and just fail to trim them enough...

1st SAL.....Peg, Dale and I committed to stitching Anni Downs - A Gardener's Journal in March. I blogged about this on my blog thinking maybe one or 2 others may join us and lots of girls indicated an interest so I decided to start this blog where we can all encourage each other to meet the goals set along the way....March 2010 -March 2011...........
2nd SAL ......well so many of the girls wanted to continue on with another project and some new girls joined us and now approx 91 girls are stitching Natalie Bird's Tis the Season. March to Sept 2011...............

Darn - that is a nuiance - but better to be too long than too short - I goofed up one of mine (not by bad cutting - a long story) - so I had to add width and length - I'm not saying which block as I dont want anyone to notice!
Good to catch it now and certainly understandable how it happened.
;) these things are sent to try us I think! It looks great now you have fixed it!
