I was very worried about making the November BOM, which features this adorable moose. At the last session, the instructor told us that the antlers were to measure 4 inches at the widest part. I procrastinated about plunging in to this one-of-four sections for the month's block, until I realized there were only 2 weeks left until the next session. "Better get a move on, " I admonished myself.
The moose has many parts (including one 3/4" piece), so cutting them out took a while. I enjoy the precision required for this activity. The instructions required making the antlers first. I was ecstatic when I was done sewing and took a measurement - a perfect 4 inch rack of antlers! I never thought I would get this excited about something so small.
The piece came together perfectly. I did not have to tear out one seam. I think he is very cute, too. Only 3 more sections to go to complete the block. Definitely have to pick up the pace to get these done.
Am deep into making holiday presents for special friends. My little Janome is really getting a work-out!
Tomorrow is a skating day, complete with Paso Doble practice with my friend Maddie. Then, off to SF on Wednesday for new skates.
Onward, minus antler anxiety.
Thanks for your continued support and encouragement of my quilting and skating, my friend.
