I spent a peaceful day sewing yesterday and completed the eight star centers for my Log Cabin alternate blocks for the Designer Mystery 2023 sew-along.
It was so lovely to get all your supportive email messages in sympathy for my "quiet firing" as Cynthia called it. Have you heard of "ghosting"? It's an expression used in dating when a guy asks you out and things seem great, but he stops calling you and doesn't return your calls or texts. I sort of feel like that. Would anyone have contacted me if I hadn't asked what the heck happened to all my future work assignments? It is a very weird way to run a company and to treat someone who you had told previously was doing great work and was a valued member of "the team".
Oh well, water under the bridge. I need to move on.
I am so pleased with how pretty this Log Cabin alternate block is. I made one up to see what it would look like and love it. For the next seven, I will make them all at one time, going one round and pressing, etc.
It looks so good with the sampler blocks and brings out all the colors beautifully. The other alternate block is in contrast, very low volume. I like how they work together. Maybe I'll finish them today!
Thanks again for all your kind comments. They made me feel a lot better.
