I'm glad. The more you keep yourself busy, the less time you have to let your mind wander into the "What if's"

I'm sure you will have them done but if not, I'll help you out.. Hey what are friends for?!

Well, one down and 23 to go! I need opinions on the eyeball. I don't like how it looks. Is it supposed to look like that and if not, what should I do different? I used fusible web if that helps any. I am still learning corners and curves so those areas look a bit wonky.

Next time try using black thread on the eye, to see if that works out better.

That is too cute!! I think Saddina is right, black might be better. Now that I've got the other 2 swaps out of the way I can get started on mine. (I need to stay off the dang computer during the day so I get stuff done!)

tabsmonsters, that is adorable! I love your background fabric - yours is way more imaginative than mine!

 

[tabsmonsters]

Thanks everyone! I will do the next one with the black and a coordinating color on the beak as well and a smaller stitch.

Sewingca, thanks! I was excited to find that fabric but it was so expensive I only have enough to do maybe 4 blocks.

That came out real nice Tabby. I have to do chicken feet, I think that's gonna be hard.

Well got the pieces all cut and tacked on for sewing, and my machine is refusing to do the satin stitch. So off to the repair shop for a few days. I split the colors into 3 sets of 8 so if we don't get 24 people, it won't duplicate.
