| Bamboo Forest - front |
The video clearly shows how to deal with the end of the block - it's clearly explained I think, and what fun that it was inspired by a comment a blogger, Wendy, made about the Hardwood Floors pattern! I looked at Wendy's blog and found it to be very interesting. She is ten years younger than I am and recently returned from a trip to NYC with her daughter and sister - they went to trapeze school! I've never thought about doing that, but I was ready to do indoor rock climbing five years ago when I was really getting in shape...
I'm going to go ahead and do this block tonight.... 1:05am

1:50am Three needles and one bobbin later..... The pattern went well. At the beginning I was adding open curves to the bamboo, after I changed the bobbin and had a chance to really look at it, I changed and made it so the curves were more on top of or near each other and that the end closed up. I think that looks better. I like this type of pattern, but think since I can control the sewing more now, that I prefer the hardwood floor look and sewing experience!
The first needle went when I was probably sewing too quickly into the curve, but the other needles went when I was about to stop so I can't figure them out. I looked at the docs for the machine and confirmed that I was putting the needle in correctly too....
