In actual fact, I have just finished February's block, the Seam Ripper, for Quiet Plays SAL
The reason it is the perfect block though is nothing to do with my sewing, or paper-piecing, but all to do with the subject of the block - the Seam Ripper. The idea is that you can have a mistake in your block and it looks like it is meant to be. Genius!
So my upside-down mannequins are not the disaster they might otherwise have been :) That is definitely my kind of block, thanks Kristy!
The rest of my time sewing has been spent on making bedroom curtains to have the newly decorated room ready before the family arrive for Easter.
They are nearly finished just waiting to be hemmed. It has been a while since I have made any curtains but the long straight seams were strangely relaxing, even if the pattern matching wasn't :)
Guess what is next to do!
Have the fabric and the ring from the previous lampshade, just have to have a go at putting them together.
