Interesting border creation (Smile). All will be well and it will be well received! You can gift it with a note to return for the finishing touches. Sleep well and enjoy the process and the season. Thank you for sharing.

I made a fabric basket and put the handles on wrong so when you turned it right side out the handles were stuck inside!!

Boy I'm glad I'm not the only one who does stuff like that! Tonight I was hand appliqueing no hoop and managed to sew a fold in my block....picked it out and quit and came to the QB.

I thought I was the only one that has done that. I learned to never try to sew when my eyes closed.

It wasn't like I could take out stitches. The first pillowcase is cut to short. I guess he will get one, because it is the one cut correctly. I will be giving it to him tomorrow. Any ideas?

Can it be pieced? With the right pattern it would look like you intended to make it that way. Good luck. Lupus makes everything more difficult.

For sure! I have finally figured it out that if I am tired to leave it be or I will be re-doing it multiple times or I will make the big goof and have to do it all over anyway.
