I MUST be crazy.........

Ok, so I am way way behind in my SKoW SAL.  But, I have decided to hand piece the 1 1/2" squares together........am I crazy..


no need to answer that........I know the answer already.......



Surprisingly, they are rather quick to do........I've almost completed them....I did do a little at Urban Stitches the other day which was fantastic!!




I really enjoying sewing these of an evening when the kids are in bed, I find it very relaxing....hopefully I make the deadline.

Happy Stitching,
Susie

I don't think you are crazy. I find hand sewing very relaxing.

No - not crazy - as I was sewing mine I wondered if I should have done the same - they are small enough to be fiddly and hard to keep really accurate. I think the marking is probably a bit painful but the sewing would be OK

Very dedicated to hand piece your squares but I find it to slow, I am always in a hurry.
