Hands2Help Checking In

I sent my fabric to my swap partner Shannon. I know Shannon has received the fabric and already has plans for the quilt. I know I will received her fabric this week. I can't wait to see what Shannon has sent so I can decide what pattern to use.

I have been working on my Orange Monochromatic Challenger over at Judy's. I have all the blocks sewn together. I am working on the strips. I hope to have them finished by Friday.

A random fact about myself is I am left handed. By being left handed it takes me a little longer to figure out how to use the rulers. I turn the ruler many times before I cut the fabric. I always try to remember to measure twice and cut once.

Blessings, Karen

  1. Glad to see someone else working on the Orange Challenge -- I love Orange. My hubby is also left handed and smart as a whip.

  2. I was snipping some batting with my left hand the other day and it occurred to me that most sewing tools ARE for right handed folks. However, I am right handed and I still have to measure 2x and cut once.... and sometimes measure just once more. Looking forward to the H2H Challenge with everyone.

  3. Thanks for the H2H update - sounds like you're ready to jump right in when your fabric gets there! And I agree with BunkHouseQuilts - I always measure twice and cut once, too!! So it's not just lefties!
