MONDAY--from my sewing basket
I think I would have to say that probably one of the tools that I use whether I am on the sewing machine, embroidering, appliqueing, or hand piecing that I make sure I have plenty of is our "friend the seam-ripper"!!! I have at least 3-4 of these "babies" around the house--there is one by my rocking chair, one beside the sewing machine and one in my classroom supply box. Now I know what you are thinking--I can see it in your eyes over there Mr. Rip-It--but if you want to do a job, it's best to do it right!!! But I do have rule of thumb I live by: I only redo the same piece three times--and on the third time that's it--unless by then I have totally ruined the piece and need to start over again????
SEWING UPDATE:
I did work on my tisket-tasket basket bom block for awhile and I have it basically done--I am not doing the buttons nor the trims just yet--as I am sure I will hand quilt this when we are all done and buttons get in the way!!! Just a stitching away, Di

Diane, Thank you for visiting my blog today and introducing yourself. I'm looking forward to being at O'Susannah's and meeting you. Thanks for telling me you're going to be there.
A couple of comments - I have heard the birds signing too! What a wonderful, hopeful sound! So special after this long, cold winter.
Also the seam ripper - I use mine to cut out buttonholes. So much easier than using a blade or X-Acto knife. You just have to be careful to not keep on going through the other end so I work towards the center from each end instead. Handy little tools, aren't they!
See you in May!
Diane
