slow stitch

I think this qualifies as "slow stitch" even though I am using a machine.
Usually I get faster the more familiar I get with a new pattern.
Not this time.
I seem to do more reverse sewing the more blocks I do.



It's effective though, what do you think my friends?
On another note...
What do you think of the developments over at Instagram?

I am seriously considering my account now "likes" are no longer displayed to anyone other the account holder.
Why like anything?
And why can't I see the people I follow CHRONOLOGICALLY.
That's what I want. And Ease up on the advertisements.

Carpenters Wheel


Have you made this block my friends?
I must say it is turning out to be one of the most difficult I have attempted.
I am using templates I bought ages ago and have finally decide to have a go.
This is an 18" block.
Some time ago I tried it in a smaller block and hand-pieced but that is unfinished.
Sigh....

This time I am using the machine but as i say I am finding it slow and difficult.
On the bight side: I have made 3 blocks!
