TNT

 I picked up the Sheep Virtues again this week. I had to build the flower mountain before I can stitch the courageous sheep on the top of it. Hopefully she'll be standing up there before next Tuesday.



 I got the the blue flower and the strawberry on the left border done plus almost half of the roof. I was dreading the roof but I am strangely enjoying the mindlessness of it.



I've got one more section of Daddio's nine patch to go and the blue border on the corner before I can take on the huge task of assembling them. That's going to be a job. I'm not sure my fingers will survive it. I've got to wrap them in electrical tape as it is just to get these little pieces done. Those tiny needles are as sharp on the back end as they are on the business end. Ouch.

    Nice progress on all fronts! Needles can be so sharp on both ends - I remember once the eye of a needle being embedded in my thumb. Not fun!

    Love the "Courage" section and am excited to see the sheep sitting atop the mountain!

    Yes, those needles are terrible. After all that sewing i thought I should have a callus on my finger but no, the needle always finds a way, especially when I am not too good with thimble. Liana

    I handsew my binding down with quilting needles - and yeah - those little suckers are brutal!

    Seeing all your beautiful TNT projects is tempting me to unearth my supplies.

    Both samplers are beautiful! The quilt is going to be wonderful from the blocks you have shown. I can only admire you for hand piecing! WOW!

    Nice progress on both fronts-I agree; both ends are dangerous to fingertips!
