Now I don’t really need to start another BOM, especially as the last one is still waiting to be put together, but when stress strikes and is out of your control, this has to be better for the soul than a bag of crisps or block of chocolate. I am going to use only fabric or scraps which are already lurking in the cupboard.

Finally something to show. After ordering the Kaffe Fassett jelly roll online from the US, I just knew the boat would be slow, or the camel would stop for a long drink, but I didn’t quite expect the parcel to go via Sweden to Singapore. The pigeon finally landed, but no jelly roll – it was on backorder. This would have to be one of my pet annoyances with overseas/online ordering. If I had known this I’d have cancelled the order and sourced it somewhere else. Grrrrrr.
I don’t know whether it is the heat, humidity or the cr*p glue, but the whole process has been quite tedious. The first lot of petals got ditched, but I’ve managed to finish 24. I’m now unsure whether to be picky about the colour placement or just stitch them randomly. Might have to make some more and have a play around.
After all my good intentions, I don’t expect to keep up, but it’s a start…sigh
