BFF SAL 20 marking a milestone

quietly. We had thought that twenty might merit something momentous, either some new style or technique or special thread. Something big or complicated or perhaps with a deep meaning.

Nah! We are both rather busy of the mind and body at the moment for one reason or another. And this space, this time, these two hours (and the occasional over run) are not here for us to add anything that is not fun, that adds stress rather than takes it away. 

Therefore, we will not pressure ourselves or let anniversaries or waiting projects do that to us either and steal away our just being us together time.

Another cover kit here we come, and this one has a bonus feature that will become evident later.

As for this kit , it started with sorting the thread, and then the material, wow stiff stuff this time round, the stuff for 19 was unusually soft,  this unusually stiff.  I could use it as a wobble board and make thunder, ok thunder a long way off but it did make a sound when flapped.

I worried that once folded to find the middle the folds would never come out. Then I had an idea, cut a piece of scrap paper the size of the Aida, fold the paper, put a hole in the middle, lay it over the Aida and middle found not folds in the material.

It worked, it may be a common trick that I have just never come across before, but at the moment I am pleased with my brilliant idea.





















Whilst we both made a "middle" start you will not be surprised to see (Click HERE to see ) that we did not go the same way after that.
