Help 10/11/20

This is the front side:

Look good, right?
This is the back

Why is it doing this?  I've changed the needle, changed the bobbin, rethreaded the machine, made sure tension was right on the bobbin.  Arghh?

Any idea what to try next?
TIA

Some of This; Some of That - Missing in Action

 Yes, I've been missing in action, because I have been busy doing quilty stuff each day except two and coping with the rest of life. So for the past four weeks, my productivity has been 87%, 100%, 87%100% for an average of 93.5%.  That's my 15 Minutes to Stitch report.

As to the destash - not so good as all I'm working on is not that big.  These hexies


with 2" sides take about a 4.5" square for each of them.  The 20 I've made only add up to a little over a 1/4 yd. or  0.27 yd.  I made a pillow cover for a friend. That took 0.21 yd.  Then I made Arrow Rock Sampler blocks - that took 0.18 yd and 0.13 yd to give me 0.79 yd.  Then I got rid of a piece of yardage - though I loved the colors - it was gauze when I finally examined it for another 1.14 yds for a grand total of 1.93 yds out. So my YTD total is 35.98 yds.  If I make it to 50 by year's end I'll be happy with half of my goal accomplished in this crazy year.

So here are some photos: 

All the sampler blocks on my design wall:


The Hexie bits and pieces joined to center - deep blues and blues and yellow new:

This is getting too big to photograph without climbing up on a ladder.  I'll try it on the design wall next time.

And the pillow case - fused a handkerchief to the top of the pillow top, and quilted it, sewed the back and front together. Pretty fragile hanky.

Some of This; Some of That 9/7/20

 Played with fabric every day for at least 15 minutes - 100% for 15 Minutes to Stitch

Made blocks for the sampler and the hexi project using 0.25 yd bringing me to a YTD total of 34.05 yds

So here are the photos:

The Hexi project (check previous posts for info on the QAL):


I've added the flower on the left and then I started on the latest section with the two dark blue and yellow hexies you see here.  Again it took me forever to decide on the fabrics.  Now I only have to make 10 more during this week to be caught up - hahahahaha.

The other project I worked on was the sampler. I realized as I was lamenting how far behind I am that I actually have all the pieces for row one. To make me feel better, I put that row together.  Ahhhh.


Why did I start two projects at the same time??  Just crazy I guess - I'm going to blame COVID for it.

So this is what my design wall looks like:

October Doings

October is behind us.  Does that put us in the Winter months?  I think it does. The skies have been foggy in the mornings - a thick fog that...
