Garlic Knots, from Quiltville, done - I added the "cross" sashing to fill up the white space between blocks. Border was my own idea and someone called it a "zipper" design. The border was done using a ruler, but my DSM has issues when MQ'ing backwards. Suggestions anyone? It can handle going backwards at an angle, just not straight back. Stitches are terrible, so I unsewed and redid a LOT of stitches - shoulda checked after the first few.
For years, the swing has been a planned purchase, "for when the deck is redone" - let's face it -- a wood deck will ALWAYS need to be redone! Bomgaars, a huge Farm/Ranch store, has everything and the swing was On Sale. When I checked out, I thought she undercharged me - "No, you get an additional 10%". And, they delivered it, no charge, and refused tip. I baked them cookies today, a small Thank You for excellent service.
