I selected and prepped fabric to make a few roses for Sophie. Cut strips then handwashed. Put some in vinegar to be sure the colors are set. Then ironed and picked out subset of fabric to make two red roses.
I cut a pentagon for the center and just added fabric like a log cabin - trying to arrange the colors so it would look right - also pressed after each seam and trimmed fabric so strips are at an angle to help with the rose allusion.
Had to change bobbin - after that the stitching was not right. So ripped stitches out and will wait until I figure out how to fix the tension...
