I kind of don't feel the panic anymore which is a good thing... I guess. Friday was my last day at work. They threw me a going away party which was so nice of them.<br />

I'm going to miss that crazy bunch! :'(</div>

<div style="text-align: left;">
Justin and I are in pack mode now which consists of us putting a few things in a box and then sitting on the couch for 30 minutes or longer. We pick up the moving truck on Wednesday. At this rate I'll have the panic back in no time. But we've done so much already! Look see!</div>

Its not pretty but in the end it all just has to get in the truck and make it 1000 miles. Which in the grand scheme on things is not as daunting at it sounds. Were pro packers!!! I am more worried about the cat. Though she seems right at home in the litter box. So that's good.<br />

Things are winding down around here. I am finally getting around to scheduling utility shutoffs, organizing a bit and packing up some things. You know all the good adulting stuff. Unfortunately though, I am starting to feel the surge of stress moving brings. Sort of in grumpy moods most of the time as I obsess over the many things that still need to happen all in a short amount of time. Not to mention the logistics of getting Justin, Penny(our kitty), myself, and all of our crap 1000 miles north.<br />
<br />
And then there's the separation anxiety. I guess we should be used to it by now considering this will be the third BIG move in three years. But it always gets to me no matter how good we have it down. I also always feel a little sad when we leave a place. There is actually a quote that best describes this feeling:<br />
<br />
<div style="text-align: center;">
"You will never be completely at home again, because part of your </div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
heart always will be elsewhere. That is the price you pay for the </div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
richness of loving and knowing people in more then one place."</div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">

<div style="text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: left;">
I get sad about leaving the place as it holds wonderful memories and experiences but it is more of the people I miss most. It is much easier to leave a place if you don't really know anyone there. But being the social person I am one of the first things I need to do when moving to a new place is meet awesome people! I have met and made friends with so many AMAZING people over the last couple of years. And I am so thankful and grateful to have them in my life. Though I have remained in touch with most of them(some more then others) the physical disconnect puts a strain on the relationship that no amount of letters, emails or phone calls can keep whole. Though the correspondence helps it is just the unfortunate reality of being thousands of miles apart. I can't just call them to hang out or grab a bite to eat. But there is an upside to this though! I get to look forward to reuniting with my friends in the future. The potential to one day share a cup of coffee and chat with them once again almost makes up for all the time spent away.</div>
<div style="text-align: left;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: left;">
I guess I shouldn't spend time dwelling on the sad parts of this transition but rather looking forward to the future. Only good things can come our way! That's not to say there won't be trying times. But for the first time in my life I can say that this is the most confident I have ever felt about a decision. Sure I am going to miss Florida and everyone here that I made a connection with but if we never came here I would have never had the opportunities and experiences this past year gave me. So no regrets and no looking back.</div>

With Justin and I still working and living in Florida things are pretty much exactly as they were. Counting down the weeks/days though!!! We have begun packing and selling some of our larger furniture off. Hopefully, this will get things a bit more organized and lighten our load for the journey back to NJ. Funny that it seems I am having an easier time letting everything go then I thought I would. Though my cleaning method has always gone as follows:<br />
<br />
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">

(Btw I totally just found out you can make flowcharts in Word and I'm doing it for everything now! I'm such a nerd!)<br />
<br />
But it's pretty simple and all together liberating. It feels amazing not being tied down by stuff. And it's even better when Craigslist people give you money for it! Though that's more of Justin's thing. I really have no problem donating or throwing away things. But because of his lucrative way of giving them up we have paid for our moving truck two or three times over now which is fantastic! I'm really quite shocked. Road trip snacks will be had I tell you!!<br />
<br />
I really can't wait to get this all going. The camper is just waiting for us in NJ and I'm so excited to customize it and really make it our own. We are freaking home owners you guys!!!! Just so cool. I really never thought I would be able to afford a home and here I am getting ready to move into it and then see the country with it! A dream come true!<br />
<br />
Well that's it for now. Stay tuned for more exciting posts ahead (sorry it is so boring now I promise it will get better!)<br />
<br />
Have an awesome week!!!!!!Sew Nomadichttp://www.blogger.com/profile/00070807028007931040noreply@blogger.com1tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4559365406851981891.post-35314970845965119392016-05-07T19:46:00.000-06:002016-05-07T19:46:40.977-06:00Full Cirlce<div>
I just want to get something straight. When I started this blog I had all the best intentions. I wanted to travel, sew and just love life. My now finance and I had bought an RV back in 2013 and I wanted to go on the road and share my love of sewing and crafting alongside our adventures to new and exciting places. Hence the Sew Nomadic name! Then for whatever reason we hit a wall. It turned out we just wanted out of New Jersey. We sold the RV and took off for Utah in a more conventional manner. Granted this was still a very extreme move. Quite the culture shock. The change was nice.</div>
<div>
But the feeling never went away. That feeling of wanderlust. Wanting to be free, to travel and explore and see new things. To live life to its fullest. Every time I watch one of those movies, you know, like Wild or The Way or Into the Wild, I just want to sell everything quit my job and go. Maybe buying the RV was some desperate attempt at a hail Mary that we thought would save us. Were we crazy? stupid? irresponsible? Or brilliant? I could almost kick our past selves for not sticking with it because honestly it would have been great.</div>
<div>
<br /></div>
<div>
I always say to my mother there has to be another way. I don't want cookie cutter, I never did. I was never one that fit the mold and every time I find myself squeezing into it I lose a little more of myself. Why is it that life seems so scripted. You go to school, to get a good job, to get married, to get a house, to have babies and fall further and further into debt and self loathing. Maybe some people really love this kind of thing but none of that seems attractive to me. Life doesn't have to play out like that. And I understand that even if you do follow the more conventional path that your life wouldn't be bad its just not what I want. So this leads me back to the beginning.<br /><div>
<br /></div>
<div>
We still talk about it constantly.<br /><div>
<br /></div>
<div>
Here we are almost 4 years later and we are still talking about selling everything, buying an RV/camper and just taking off. Its what we wanted all along and it feels right in my bones. I can't get over just how logical this seems, for us anyway. So here's to a re-beginning. Our mulligan if you will. I would love it if you'd join me on this now familiar adventure just one more time. There's just one catch, no more script, no more tireless editing and no more BS. You're getting it all good, bad and ugly. Its going to be a blast!</div>

<br />
All I can really say is wow it has been some time. Is there anyone even still out there??? Anyone even reading this silly blog of mine?<br />
<br />
I don't want to make apologies or talk about how I meant to do one thing or another. Can I be honest? The truth is I just didn't feel like blogging anymore. It was tiring, making sure every post was perfect, all the editing and proofreading, blah blah.....I found Instagram and everything changed. But now with IG going to a different format I may return to blogging. But here's the thing....there are going to be some changes around here.<br />
<br />
If I do any posts they will be short. Borrowing from the ease of IG I will maybe post one or two pictures and make quick comments about them and that's it. I really like the documentation process and sharing my hobby with the world. So it is definitely not something I want to give up totally. But if its going to work I need to make it work for me.<br />
<br />
Hope you all understand. Thanks for bearing with me. This is going to be fun!Sew Nomadichttp://www.blogger.com/profile/00070807028007931040noreply@blogger.com2tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4559365406851981891.post-89384421081938665792014-08-26T13:53:00.000-06:002014-08-28T22:08:52.268-06:003 Quilts and a Scrappy Trip<div style="text-align: center;">
Howdy everybody! Hope this summer is treating you well! I actually did some sewing this summer although not as much as I would like, but I got some things started and accomplished.....well sorta!</div>

<div style="text-align: center;">
I made this awesome quilt inspired by Canoe Ridge Creations <a href="http://www.canoeridgecreations.com/2013/08/chevron-and-on-finished-quilt.html">Chevron and On</a> quilt that was featured in March/April edition of <a href="http://www.heyquilty.com/index.html">Quilty</a> mag.</div>

I used my <a href="http://www.katespain.com/fabric.html">Kate Spain Central Park</a> charm packs that have been in the stash for a while. This was a "use what I have" challenge. I think it was pretty successful. I forgot how much I love this line. The colors are so wonderfully bright and exciting!</div>

I also quilted this myself and was the first time I did a panto on the longarm. I am so happy with how it came out! I still need to attach the binding. I found the most amazing print in my stash, all the colors match perfectly! I don't remember what its called or who made it, but I love it.</div>

I recently quilted this beautiful Vintage Revival Quilt for one of the gals at the guild. It was such a delight to have this gorgeous thing on my frame. It was not all fun and games though as I quickly found out that my straight line quilting skills were lacking. I used the <a href="https://www.urbanelementz.com/shop/product/morocco/">Morocco pantograph</a> from <a href="https://www.urbanelementz.com/">Urban Elementz</a> and it sure was tough. I wound up making a stencil and quilting from the front side with my ruler.</div>

It really was awesome though, I learned a ton on this bad boy. I figured out how to load a pieced back, deal with bias edges, and beefed up on my ruler work. It was great! Sure took me long enough but the owner is super stoked and I'm proud of myself. It isn't perfect, but I'm not either ;)</div>

Here is another quilt I quilted (I hate saying it like that. makes it sound weird...quilt I quilted...lol). Anyway...This one came from my neighbor. It is her first quilt, EVER! The pattern is a slightly modified version of <a href="http://cluckclucksew.bigcartel.com/product/ring-toss-134-pdf-version">Ring Toss</a> by <a href="http://www.cluckclucksew.com/">Allison Harris</a>. She made it for her daughter and did such an amazing job! I was so impressed. Very good person to instruct. And she loved the quilt making process so much she is already starting to think of other things to piece together. **insert evil laughter** I just did an overall meander which was super fun and super quick. Love the bright fun colors in this. I might have to make one myself!</div>

I really want it to be super scrappy, but its actually proving to be pretty hard with my matchy-matchy-ness. I have decided to run a dark strip through every block to kind of tie it all together. </div>

Hey everyone! I'm surprised you are all still here. I'm not really keeping my <a href="http://sewnomadic.blogspot.com/2014/01/an-update-and-resolution.html">resolution</a>, but oh well. Its hard to make promises like that and I knew you'd all understand anyway! Right?!?!?! I didn't really go anywhere, life just sort of happened as life normally does. I don't want to admit that it was laziness so let's just call it a hiatus. ;)</div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
There is a lot to share as its been, ooohhh, 5 months or so since my last post. But the anticipation only makes it that much better! I'll just pick up like I never left off. </div>
<div style="text-align: center;">

I finally finished the baby quilt I was working on for our newest family member. She was born in April and her name is Giavanna. Such a cutie!</div>

I just couldn't pass it up! I love it! It makes the quilting process so much easier and faster. No more sore shoulders or days and days of quilting. I'm actually not using it as much as I like, but it probably just means I'm not sewing enough.</div>

I am sure there are plenty of things I missed. And I PROMISE to share them when I come across them. I just bought the backing, a sheet, for the quilt top so I'll hopefully be quilting it soon! Yippie!!!! Thank you to everyone who has held in there with me. Your support is very much appreciated. To my family and friends I'm still alive. And to the blog-o-sphere you'll be hearing more from me!!!</div>

Guys....last night was so wonderful!!!! I finally got to go to a Salt Lake Modern Quilt Guild meeting and I must say it was one of the best things I've done so far here in Utah! It was a little sketchy at first, but after the nervous jitters were gone and I started talking to all the wonderful people there its was just magic! There were so many amazing quilters and designers it kind of blew my mind. Not to mention I was a little star struck (and I'm gonna name drop) when I saw Katie <a href="http://www.fromthebluechair.com/">from the blue chair</a> sitting inches from me. My insides were all like sqeeeeeeeeee!!!!!! Justin even knew who she was LOL!!! And I don't mean to get all dorky but to finally meet someone who, to you, has been so influential and inspiring it kind of calls for a little jumping up and down!</div>

But seriously, the inspiration was everywhere. I left feeling so excited and delighted to jump in front of my sewing machine and get down to business. I feel like this is the first set. And hopefully if my work schedule cooperates, I can make it to as many meetings/events as I can so I get hang out with all of these amazingly talented and wonderful people!!!! I don't know too many names yet, but I'm sure in time I'll get to know each and everyone them!</div>

Lots of working and unfortunately closing a lot so I don't have much time to do the things I'd like. I get home around 10:30pm, gorge on whatever I can find in the fridge and then go to bed to do it all over again the next day. My sleep schedule is also very screwy, but at least I have a job, right?!<br />

Its the first <a href="https://www.facebook.com/pages/Salt-Lake-Modern-Quilt-Guild/461697010571793" target="_blank">Salt Lake Modern Quilt Guild</a> meeting I will attend since being in Utah. I'm sooooo excited!!! Hopefully all the people I had been admiring while in Jersey will be there! Kind of the greats of the quilt world. I might have to get autographs LOL! I won't. Well maybe :D . I just hope its going to be a great time. Justin will be going with me since I have no one to go with and he's worried about me driving into the city by myself. I hope he can stay entertained for a while. Quilty meetings are not the best place for uninterested boys.<br />

I let you know how it goes. As for now, off to more binding before work while watching King of the Hill. :) What are you guys working on this week???Sew Nomadichttp://www.blogger.com/profile/00070807028007931040noreply@blogger.com1tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4559365406851981891.post-3381458449235484822014-01-01T13:20:00.001-07:002014-01-01T13:20:33.392-07:00An Update and a Resolution<div style="text-align: center;">
Happy 2014 everyone!!! I hope 2013 was a good one for all of you! For me it was full of ups and downs, but mostly ups which is a good thing. Many of you may or may not know, I moved in 2013 all the way across the country to Utah! As a result I took a bit of a hiatus from blogging to focus on my life and to get everything back to normal. Well 2 months later we're back to semi-normal and with the New Year I thought I would make a resolution and sort of promise to get back to blogging. Not only for all of you out there still interested in my crafty shenanigans, but for me. I enjoy blogging and hopefully will be doing more of it soon!</div>

So where to begin.....Well we made it! Home sweet home. Moving is definitely not fun, but when its to your first house its kind of super exciting. I finally have a place I can call my own and I don't need to be rich to enjoy the amazing views! Its funny though. If you would have asked me a year ago if I thought I would be in Utah now I would have thought you were crazy. Utah was definitely not on the radar, but after visiting a few times we kind of fell in love. Such a change from New Jersey.</div>

The house is slowly coming together. The first week we were here there was a lot of spending :/ New couch, new mattress, a washer and dryer, etc. We still don't have a dining room table, but its fine because the space is great for quilty projects! :D</div>

Speaking of crafty spaces I finally have one!!! My very own sewing room!!! Its super messy and disorganized right now, but hopefully I can get it together soon and make it my own little sanctuary. For now I make due with the rest of the house though. And I kind of find it more enjoyable as I can sew and hang out with my honey while he watches TV.</div>

During Christmas I was very busy! I actually found time to make a <a href="http://www.abrightcorner.com/2012/11/holly-jolly-tree-skirt.html" target="_blank">tree skirt</a>, finish a WIP from 2013, make family and friends little ornaments and gifts, and even start another project. I'm still working on binding my monstrous Swoon quilt and dreading quilting my Spanish Tiles quilt. But I cant wait to add more to the pile! I love that I can finally have the quilts out and in use! Makes it even more homey!</div>

Soooo I have been really busy lately. Getting ready to move kind of sucks, pardon my French. There is so much to do, so many things to button up. I never thought I'd be doing this and all in a month and a half.</div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
We plan on being in Utah by middle November and you would think with everything that still needs to happen maybe I'd cool it on the projects. But just last month I started a new one. Mainly because I couldn't bring half finished monstrosities like my Swoon on the plane to our vacation.</div>

I'm hoping I'll be able to return to blogging hardcore once everything has settled, but until then I'm sorry if I am distant. I hope you all understand. If you want to follow me in the meantime check out my Instagram. I find it a little easier/faster to post there. </div>

Remember this <a href="http://sewnomadic.blogspot.com/2013/06/swoon-top-finished.html" target="_blank">quilt</a>?!?! Well I actually quilted it. <u>Finally</u>. I rented some time with my longarmer Janet and was able to quilt this baby on the long arm machine myself! Pretty freaking sweet right?!?! Janet stayed late with me on Saturday to finish! Took me 2 days and 10 hours, but I did it! She was so nice to make time for me after having been in the hospital a couple weeks prior. No worries though, she's doing much better now!!! Thanks again Janet!!!! You are amazing!!!! I can't thank you enough!</div>

Its actually for a bed that doesn't exist quiet yet. I was going to wait to unveil this bit of information, but we're moving. That's right, moving out of hellish New Jersey and into beauteous Utah! I suppose that's why I have been a little distant from the internets. So much planning and getting ready to do. My brain is in warp drive.</div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
I have never moved before, well, once into college, but that doesn't count. This is a little bit bigger of a move so I have some apprehensions. One thing being what to take and what to leave? We want to bring as much as we can, but as little as we can at the same time. If you you know what I mean. I started refinishing some pieces of the furniture I inherited from my Grandfather that are coming with. They are in really good shape and super cute! But, someone decided long ago that mustard was a good choice. Ehhh... I think not. I'm going to try to strip and sand them down as much as possible then using <a href="http://www.cluckclucksew.com/2013/06/painting-furniture.html" target="_blank">Allison's advice</a> try and repaint them black. Wish me luck! </div>

And if that weren't enough, I've also started another quilt, a HST project (from Swoon scraps), a costume and stitching my granny square hand bag together. Seriously, my crafting ADD is out of control. I just think I'm trying to keep my mind occupied so I don't worry about the move.</div>

I did get to sneak away for a bit to check out the rest of the show. There were tons of exhibitors and demonstrations. It was really something! </div>

After walking around a bit I found quilters!! I had no idea quilting was
considered Fine Craft! I'm sure there was more, but I came across 2
textile artists that had some pretty outstanding work.</div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
The first was Fulton Design Studio. I just loved their booth! Wife and husband duo Jan and Gary Fulton make amazing art quilts and table linens inspired by nature. </div>

They use mostly batiks which I think lends to the vibrancy of their work. I got to talk with Jan for a bit and she gave me some great ideas on technique and process!

<div style="text-align: center;">
Next was Lorac Designs. Quilt artist Carol Heisler creates beautiful one of a kind quilts using great imagination and color theory. </div>
<div style="text-align: center;">

<div style="text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
As her website states she <span style="font-size: small;"><span style="font-family: inherit;">has developed an innovative style that blends precise realism with abstract expressionism, which I totally agree! She has been featured in numerous magazines and galleries across the US. Most outstanding of Carol's booth was Carol herself! </span></span></div>

<div style="text-align: center;">
<span style="font-size: small;"><span style="font-family: inherit;">All in all it was a pretty good time. I hope I can help Nicolette at the next show! I really love getting to see/meet all the amazing craftsman and artists. It makes me hopeful that people continue to appreciate art and the importance of handmade work. Maybe one day I'll be the one exhibiting! But until then I'll be happy just supporting!</span></span></div>

Its been summer lazy days around here. With how hot it has been, I come home from work and all I want to do is flop on the couch and sleep. Luckily though, I have managed to muster up enough energy to get considerably far with my latest project.</div>

I started this way back! I actually bought the fabric for it over 2 years ago! Its <a href="http://freespiritfabric.com/core-pages/gallery.php?gal_id=366" target="_blank">Aviary 2</a> in granite by <a href="http://www.joeldewberry.com/" target="_blank">Joel Dewberry</a>. I so love this fabric! Its absolutely gorgeous! For the background I used my staple <a href="http://www.robertkaufman.com/fabrics/kona_cotton/" target="_blank">Kona</a> in black and medium grey. I think they work well together.</div>

We stayed at <a href="http://nysparks.com/parks/142" target="_blank">Watkins Glen State Park</a> which is near the Finger Lakes in up state NY. We always seem to have great luck at state parks. The facilities are well kept and the staff is very friendly and helpful. They even have security patrolling so its very safe.<br />
<br />
The first day we walked down to The Gorge, which is one of the main features of the park. It was really beautiful.<br />

<a href="http://www.osusannahsquiltshop.com/" target="_blank">O'Sushannah's Quilts and Gifts</a>, nestled right in downtown Watkins Glen, is what I dream a quilt shop to be. Don't get me wrong I love my shops at home. But something about this place made it so much more.<br />

I really love this <a href="http://gogokim.blogspot.com/2011/12/cathedral-window-pin-cushion-tutorial.html" target="_blank">tutorial</a> from Kim of <a href="http://gogokim.blogspot.com/" target="_blank">My Go-Go Life</a>. My <a href="http://sewnomadic.blogspot.com/2013/03/swooning.html" target="_blank">first
Cathedral</a> was so fun to make I just had to make another. Actually, I really
didn't feel like sewing the other day, but then some how just by sitting down
in front of the sewing machine I was able to make something.</div>

This time I tried stuffing it with
half fiber fill half crushed walnut shells. It was fairly difficult so next
time its either one or the other. I like the walnuts since it gives weight to the pin
cushion but the stuffing is much easier to stab into so we will see for the
next one.</div>

I am going to give this one to a

into more modern designs and fabrics. I hope she love's it!</div>

I've hit a road block with my <a href="http://sewnomadic.blogspot.com/2013/05/almost.html" target="_blank">Swoon Quilt</a>. Seems as though my energy for adding borders is depleted. It is getting tough to wrestle that top under my machine. But that's not to say I'm not still sewing. Check this out!</div>

I saw this fabric a little while ago and told myself not to buy it since I don't <i>neeeed</i> anymore fabric. But after some time had passed I went back to the store and that same bolt of happy mustaches was sitting there begging me to make a bag of it and so into my basket it went. It was practically twisting my arm! I swear it :) That <a href="http://www.ahfabrics.com/" target="_blank">Alexander Henry</a> and <a href="http://www.michaelmillerfabrics.com/" target="_blank">Michael Miller</a> sure do make some irresistible fabrics!</div>

When I got home I immediately started cutting it up! I used this <a href="http://verypurpleperson.com/2010/04/making-reversible-bag/" target="_blank"><span id="goog_842957768"></span>Reversible Bag pattern</a><span id="goog_842957769"></span> from Novita at <a href="http://verypurpleperson.blogspot.com/">verypurpleperson.blogspot.com</a>. It was so easy to make and just what I had in mind. Having the reversible option is really great since I'm in love with both prints.</div>

This quilt goes back a little while now. Took me almost a year and a half to complete! I was so inspired by Angela's (<a href="http://fussycut.blogspot.com/">Fussy Cut</a>) <a href="http://fussycut.blogspot.com/2011/05/finished-habitat-bowtie-quilt.html">Habitat Bowtie quilt</a> that I wanted one of my own. And so began this wonderful quilt. I really love how it turned out!</div>

My blocks are 10 inches finished and I used <a href="http://annamariahorner.blogspot.com/">Anna Maria Horner</a>'s line <a href="http://store.annamariahorner.com/innocentcrush.html">Innocent Crush</a> in the warm palette and Kona in Medium Grey as my background. I can't remember now what I used for the binding or the back, but I absolutely love the sea foamy/tealish fabric. Its like a little surprise on the back! This was quilted on a long arm by Janet Eisner of <a href="http://www.eisnersquilting.com/">Eisner's Quilting</a>. She's super awesome if you can't already tell.</div>

being able to buy directly from an artist. You get to see and understand
the effort and passion that goes into making each item, especially when
you meet the person who made it. All in all, it was a great time and a
great learning experience. I had so much fun! I'm hoping Nicolette will
ask me to help her again soon!</span><br />

I got a few days where I was able to sit down, relax and just sew. The product has been three more Swoon blocks and a fantastic new discovery!<br />

I'm now at a grand total of 5 Swoon blocks. That means only 4 more to go! Whoopie! These blocks are a little painstaking, but totally worth it! I can't wait to snuggle up under this one!</div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: left;">
<br /></div>
Now, I have always used blue painter's tape for sewing diagonals, especially blocks like snowballs or flying geese. You can even use it for making half square triangles(HST) like Camille of <a href="http://camilleroskelley.typepad.com/simplify/">Simplify</a> does <a href="http://camilleroskelley.typepad.com/simplify/2013/04/half-square-triangle-tips.html">here</a>. I normally line the tape up with my needle so it gives me a straight line to follow through to the point.<br />

As you can see though, I have added a second piece of tape. Why you might ask??? By adding that second piece of tape a half inch to the left of my needle, I am able to make HSTs as I go! I originally got <a href="http://www.cluckclucksew.com/2013/02/saving-scraps-half-square-triangles.html">this idea</a> from Allison Harris of <a href="http://www.cluckclucksew.com/">Cluck Cluck Sew</a>. She has such wonderful tips and tutorials!<br />

It is an extra little step, but makes up for a lot in the end. So instead of having piles of cut offs....<br />

You get tons of HSTs ready to use for another project!<br />

Obviously, the "sew as you go" technique is not a new one, but its new to me and I'm loving it!</div>
