In spite of the fact that Deloise said I was cheating by sewing the lines of my half-square triangles before we start our session tomorrow, I finished the lines on mine. They haven’t been cut, pressed or trimmed so there will still be plenty of work to do after we officially start.

I did a bit more work with my quilting rulers today. My first attempt didn’t go well and I thought I had either been very lucky last week or I had lost the knack for it. I was able to sort out the issue by raising the foot; I think the sandwich I was using today was thicker than last week and the foot was too tight against the fabric and it didn’t move well. My hope is that next week I’ll be able to quilt the small project I am working on this week with Stacia and Deloise.

I also put a couple of rows of another quilt top together. For every row I stitched I had to do some reverse work so decided it was probably time to quit.

I have a Zoom meeting tonight. I think I’m prepared for it but there are always a few things I think of at the last minute.
