I got together with Gail on Wednesday night to finally get started on our guild chatelaine. I bought the kit more than two years ago when I became a member! About time to start on it. As you can see from the photo, it's no wonder that I didn't tackle it earlier LOL...this block is the emblem of our guild and I'm handpiecing it. Some of the pieces are so small I don't think I'd be able to get them under my sewing machine needle! Easier by hand, I think. Good thing I had all that practise with the Psalms blocks and Dear Jane blocks. There are 37 pieces and the block ends up being 4 1/4"!! I have the bottom corners together. Hopefully I can show you a photo of the finished block soon.
If you wear your chatelaine to the meetings you get an extra ticket for the draw :-). That should give some incentive to finish it soon!
Okay......now that we know you have started this chatelaine....we will be watching to see if you are proudly wearing it at the December meeting.
ReplyDeleteJust a little "extra" incentive for ya ;-)
