Whatcha mean your's are all wonky? I think on the one set of mine, the flower grew cause it was the right size when I was cutting it out!..
I still have a callus (sp?) from doing the blanket stitch on a penny rug I did a couple of years ago.. that stuff wasn't fun at all.. so I feel your pain... Needleturn.. well I don't do that well.. so I don't do it at all...I'm the "fusible" kinda gal! :lol:
Well here is my 5 sets... be gentle...I cry easily! :lol: :lol:

I have just been lurking on this exchange. I don't have many 30's prints to join in so I am doing my own collection out of scraps. It's fun to see your pictures!

Tuesy, those are great.(And I'm not just saying that...) I can't believe you have all those done already! I'm struggling with my first set...
I wish you lived closer! I would show you how fun needle turn is to do!

ME TOO!! cause I have honestly tried needle turn and I get a messed up ... leaf, petal, or whatever it is I'm trying to do. Round become square, triangle becomes a blob.. it's just a mess!
I cheat with my sets.. I do one.. work out the kinks and then mass produce the rest.
I still have the blanket stitch to do around about 5 of them and then I'll be done. Might do some more too. These are just to cute to not do.

I agree with ya.. hurts the fingers like crazy... and I can't wear a thimble to save my life.. my fingers are to small/thin/whatever you want to call them.. even the leather ones fall off and they have elastic in them.. :roll:

I've collected 30s fabrics for years, waiting for just the right quilt pattern. LOVE LOVE LOVE this one. I tried to select something different from what's been chosen so far . . . put me down for 2, 17, 47, and 80.
The workmanship shown on the pictures is fantastic!
