Here is the Travellin' Pic Stitch block that got away, or rather, was sent packing.
It was going to be great... in my head.
However once I started joining those central points, I hated it; one swimming and a ballet lesson later and it got tossed aside. Not. Feeling. The. Love.
So I am now on mark II and feeling happy back in my comfort zone.
Well I have a regular, relatively stress-free Wednesday day off tomorrow, so I am aiming to be ultra productive and have loads to show you... famous last words x
I'm with you. Not feeling the love either. Sometimes we just have to cut our losses.
ReplyDeletehmm, yes, maybe a good thing you stopped there. I'm sure whatever you are working on now is fab though!
ReplyDeleteThe Travellin' Pic Stitch caused me similar grief...couldn't find any fabric in my stash that matched any interesting photos! Yep, cut your losses!
ReplyDeleteHope you have a productive day tomorrow, I think it's going to be raining so that should keep you indoors ;-)
ReplyDeletejust been playing with my travelling pallet! have a productive day! I'll be thinking of you while i'm at work!
ReplyDeleteI need to start a traveling pic block, first a picture would be good. Was it a bright couple of flowers in a concrete jungle on a blue sky day in your picture? Birthday balloons on a rainy day? I doubt I am even close.
ReplyDeleteIt's really not that bad! Jxo
ReplyDeleteCheckling here at Leanne's comment...perhaps you could finish the block and then applique it on to the yellow picnic blanket - keep all the horrors together ;-)
ReplyDeleteSo fun catching up with your blog posts. Love your scrappy projects/blocks! You are a busy bee!
ReplyDeleteI do feel love for the colors! Maybe the design isn't the right choice, but you can mix up those little EPP pieces and create something wonderful. Don't throw them out yet!
ReplyDeleteI struggle ith the diamonds! I've got one onthe go with tiny triangles, and I do wonder why I started!!
ReplyDeleteI was going to do a lone star for my blog hop stop, so thanks for reminding me about the points. Change of plan I think!
ReplyDeleteFor me the hardest thing is all the pictures I'm wanting to use have uninspiring palettes. I may have to get super creative. Ie. cheat lol
ReplyDeleteOh dear, I hope mark II floats your boat!
ReplyDeleteNice to catch up - realize I prefer reading blogs and taking photos to actually doing anything! Look forward to your Wednesday crafts.
ReplyDeleteI hope your Wednesday has been as productive as you hoped for.! x
ReplyDeleteI had similar plans for my Wednesday, but here I sit at 1:01 p.m. still catching up on blog reading!!!
