Time to share an update on my May OMG (One Monthly Goal).
I had decided that it was time to get the Aunt Bea’s Parlor project out of the closet and finish up the borders.
I also said that I had issues with piecing the borders and that it was the pattern’s fault.
Ahem.
Turns out, as is often the case when I am involved, my issues were due to operator error.
Somehow the piecing just went together so much better when I took the time to mark and pin.
Go figure.
I am linking up with Elm Street Quilts. Check it out and see what other’s have accomplished for their May goals!
*To see all of the posts, and my completed embroidered blocks, simply put ‘Aunt Bea’s Parlor’ in the search bar of my blog.




Very pretty and so springlike colors and so glad that you pulled the project out and finished it. I am just starting mine! Hugs

Oh yes, I agree, Kathy! And it didn’t hurt me at all to learn to work with the triangles. Heh, heh!

Operator error happens around me too. I wonder if there is a way to stop it … that doesn’t involve us stopping what we enjoy doing.

I think the operator error happens more often the older I get! But you are right…mustn’t let it stop us from having fun, Judy! 🙂

The borders look great – certainly worth the effort. I would save myself a lot of time and bother if I learned and applied the lesson to pin before stitching!
