failure

Posted by on February 15, 2012 in stitch | 1 comment

Sometimes things just don't work out how I imagine them in my head. Flush from the success of my window patchwork and my corner office, I thought I'd teach myself how to do paper piecing. It was all going pretty well, and then I got to the second-to-last piece.

Paper piecing

Back to the drawing board. It seems that each piece can only have one seam, and I tried to do two. If any paper piecing experts are reading this, is that the case? I'm off to do a little more research. I just thought it would be good to share the failures along with the successes to keep me honest.

  1. Thank you for sharing that. It’s been one of those days for me where I’m embracing a bit of that “failure” feeling. Yuck. I guess it gives us perspective, and inspiration to keep on going. :o)
