Sewing In – A Babette Update

Posted on August 21, 2009 by fmgarman

I will be taking a few pictures, as promised in my last blog, tomorrow when the sun is out. The photos seem to come out better with the natural light.

I’ve been sewing in my babette squares, working from the center out. Each panel is sewn together and then sewn onto the next (or previous) panel. Frankly, I’m shocked at the speed at which I’ve been able to complete this part of the blanket. I’ve only been sewing since yesterday, and I’ll be done tomorrow! I just have to sew Panels 9 and 10 together. Of course, these are the longest panels but the stitch I am using goes pretty quickly.

This is my first real sewing attempt, so I’m not even sure what kind of stitch I am doing. I saw a blog a while back that explained the different stitches and showed pictures of each. I will find that tomorrow and put a link up for you.

Almost done!!
