  16. Soooo I just came across this tip and it was in 2011. I am retired, learning new things and loved how this was put together!. Since I am a new learner it took me awhile to figure it out in my head. I am a visual learner so I am so glad for your pics. Can you tell me if you ever shared your secret project with this web site?

  17. Well yes, I published my 'secret' project is in this post: http://bloomandblossom.blogspot.com.au/2012/04/coquetterie.html. And here: http://bloomandblossom.blogspot.com.au/2013/03/coquetterie-cosmetic-wallet-pdf-pattern.html. It remains one of my all-time favourite projects!

  18. I wish I would have seen this tip before Friday. :( I have been sewing strips of 21/2 in squares together and it seems to be upsetting my brand new machine. It has auto tension and going over all those seems is making it mess up.
