May be you can iron away the wrinkles in our haphazard lives. Times may be topsy-turvy but your blocks are upright - no matter how they are oriented. Kudos on surviving week one. See you are better equipped than you thought. It will be fine.Preetihttps://www.blogger.com/profile/15363550140143647850noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4331056529990165279.post-86986403085237606182020-08-30T23:03:33.552-04:002020-08-30T23:03:33.552-04:00Nice blocks!

Earlier this summer I ought a new, second, iron so I could have one upstairs where I sew and downstairs in the shop. No kidding - such a small thing and it makes me so happy!! I hate to ship that last cut off a bolt to someone because it is soooo wrinkled. Seems like in a store, if a customer buys the end of the bolt, they see it come off and understand why it is wrinkled. If I send someone that last cut and they didn't see it was the end of the bolt, it just looks messy. Anyway, that second iron brings me joy!!!<br /><br />Enjoy yours too Mari. :-)Bernie Kringelhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/00753481379287809548noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4331056529990165279.post-34683122566126074162020-08-29T19:36:17.099-04:002020-08-29T19:36:17.099-04:00I'm pretty sure I drooled a little at the gree...I'm pretty sure I drooled a little at the green floral in the second block.

I’m glad your classes have started out so well. That should keep the stress level down. And construction. Whew! Even the noise of outdoor construction a block away drives me bonkers, so I’m glad your tolerance is high. Can’t wait to see a photo of the results. What are your irons? They are so pretty.

Those are beautiful blocks and definitely look very satisfying to make. Lots of HSTs, it looks like, but once those are made, I bet the blocks go together quickly.

Doesn't matter when you post-we are retired and since not going anywhere cuz of you know, the days sometimes run together and we have to check the phone to see what day it is!! Lol. Point is: keep enjoying your sewing and keep talking to us. :)JCHhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/08202569757772957943noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4331056529990165279.post-62261618172883792022020-08-29T09:58:12.563-04:002020-08-29T09:58:12.563-04:00We had our kitchen done last year and you are righ...We had our kitchen done last year and you are right about the coming and going. We had to be ready at 8am every day all summer. Some days they were there at 8am some days 9 or 9:30, and lots of waiting for electricians etc. But the ed result is worth it!

There's a rhythm to construction all its own, and sometimes it only makes sense to them. One day, nothing happens; another day, so much happens. Glad it's outside so far, and that the noise isn't too loud. Nice blocks too - they look great for some easy sewing. I'm glad your first week of classes went well! Two irons - yippee! The iron I've had for years is starting to let me know it may be time to replace it; I'm in denial. piecefulwendyhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/02256164519304112032noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4331056529990165279.post-60015204812826721122020-08-29T08:05:15.433-04:002020-08-29T08:05:15.433-04:00I guess you sometimes have trouble with your power...I guess you sometimes have trouble with your power that you were happy to have all turned on at once :) glad I don't have that trouble!
