Jack the Ripper was a pretty ruthless
unidentified serial killer in London in 1888.
Yesterday I needed Jack and I needed him to be ruthless.
I'd been working on this store sample.
I thought it was going great.
Do you see what I saw as I got ready to baste it?
8 blocks out of order.
I had flipped that section.
Drat!

I desperately needed Jack the Ripper.
He needed to be merciless and even cruel.
It was like doing surgery to remove the infected area.
Finally I got it back in place in the right direction and
started to machine quilt.
But wait!
What's this?#?
I couldn't believe it, another block twisted.
By now it was too late for Jack to do anything.
Instead I needed his sister, Agatha the Appliquer.
So I appliqued a new block over the wrong one.
I think everything is ok now.
I hate to look too closely.
Yesterday must have been a non sewing day.
But Jack was able to come to my rescue.
In defense,
I probably was thinking about the humungous piece of
space debris that could be fall right towards me and
was slightly distracted.
Until Next Time-
It looks like Jack the Ripper and appliqué can fix anything! Cute pattern!
ReplyDeleteOh No!!! Sounds like you solved the problem, I never would have thought of the applique!! You probably needed a voice to come out of your sewing machine..."STEP AWAY FROM THE SEWING MACHINE". Great save!
ReplyDeleteYou got-errr' done.....good for you and Jack!!!
ReplyDeleteCute post and beautiful quilt!

I'm back working on it today and, I hope, Jack will not be needed anymore.
ReplyDeleteWell, it's a gorgeous quilt but kudos to you for being such a happy person last night!
ReplyDeleteI would have said something other than "drat". Rinda
ReplyDeleteIt was worth the effort; it's so nice! Easy for me to say, right?! You were the ripper!
ReplyDeleteI have had days like that. I think everything is going good and think I am almost finished and look at the quilt on the design board.
ReplyDeleteOMG WHAT DID I DO??? Those are days I should have not sewn...It is still beautiful.
