Dinosaurs and Reverse Sewing

I decided to undertake making of Block 8 of the Swoon Quilt, it is 37c today, the children were watching Jurassic Park on T.V.

I found the background HUM / loudness of the T.V. very disconcerting and off putting.  Children screaming, adults yelling and screaming, ( all on the t.v.!)  dinosaurs roaring and making very loud gutteral noises -- no doubt as dinosaurs have done for may moons.  My heart rate was increasing by large increments continually  -- meanwhile - no complaints from the children --they were loving the PG rated movie.  Me - I was terrified - hence the repeat
mistakes.


Loss of concentration - reverse sewing needed here!!

Measure TWICE, cut ONCE

lots of reverse sewing  -- (unpicking)-- luckily I had cut one piece of fabric 1/2 inch wider  -- this was easier to cut down then to salvage a piece from the little remnant of the FQ to try to cut another required piece.



Hurrah, finally Block 8 completed

We decided to turn off the T.V. and sewing machine, and undertake
some other activities for the day
