beginnings, figuring out the spacing and testing...
I did start on Friday with cutting, and then some line drawing, and then a little sewing. Saturday was a the scout Christmas tree lot shift day so I knew I wouldn't be doing any sewing. It ended up being a 10am-8pm day for Kevin, crazy busy in the morning and he was called in! I made a spaghetti and meatball dinner along with some pumpkin muffins for our dinner (all paleo) and was ready to start our shift at 2. I went in an hour early to unwrap trees. Our day ended with 64 trees sold which was a record (for at least this year), Kevin said he has never seen it that busy. And it's difficult when a shift is 2 scouts and 2 parents, some know how to tie knots well--which is nice when you are hopefully paired with a more experienced scout/parent. For some reason shoppers want to be sure their trees arrive home still on their vehicles :) I'm not a knot person, thankfully Kevin is like a king knotter and Darrin is picking it up. And we are now officially done with our required 6 shifts!
My greens along with the first two clues...
Back to sewing... Sunday I did bits and pieces throughout the day. At this point it should be easy sailing with just sewing the other side, my lines are already drawn. I am guessing there will be an opposite side to this half-chevron and I will take that in stride as well.

Way to just get in there and get it figured out! I'm headed in right now to cut some greens. Neutrals are all ready to go. I love that so far our quilts are looking the same. :)
ReplyDeleteIt you really do no like making the chevrons, why not make two hst . The need those together to ma k a chevron? It's only one more seam. Just a thought.
ReplyDeleteYea, I have a Dejavu feeling about them also! My Midnight Flight didn't have the chevron so in the borders for a good reason! Good tree selling! My DH is a knot tying crazy scouter.
ReplyDeleteI am busy watching you all with you mysteries, not happening for me this year. I can't wait to see how it all turns out. Great on the Christmas tree sales.
