Moth in a Web

E-13 Paper pieced and appliqué, 22 pieces.

When I thought the block was done, it came to my attention

there were no small triangles on the big triangles.

I forgot to appliqué them on  

before it was sewn on the middle piece.

I had to rip off and do it again.

Some days are more difficult than others.


Happy stitching

At last - some time spent with my DJ.

It is nice to have your family over for a visit, especially when you are living abroad.

But I did miss my sewing, and now I miss my family.

So it is a kind of Battlefield with my emotion.
