<span face="Verdana, sans-serif">OK guys, now this is more of a marathon than a sprint (although it is super quick) so I think we need to organise ourselves before we start. Why ? because of course I jumped in feet first and fluffed up a few things and could have done them better so you guys get the benefit of my experience.</span></span></div>

Once I ran out of 8mm I had to use 7mm - and it was much easier. You may need to see what your own machine is happy to cope with. My finished rug measures approx 47 inches across and I used 125 metres (almost 400 feet) of cotton sashing.</li>

<ul style="font-family: Verdana, sans-serif;">
<li>Fabric strips: Any length x 1 1/4 inches wide. (Depending on my mood, I ripped some and cut some.) My strips varied between 1 and 2 inches but I found the narrower ones easiest to wrap. I have no idea how much fabric I used but my scraps are once more actually fitting in the scrap basket.</li>
</ul>
<ul>
<li style="font-family: Verdana, sans-serif;">Polyester Thread : Lots of thread - more thread than you can imagine. It is a good idea to pre-wind a stack of bobbins as well, because once you get started you are going to want to keep on going - it is highly addictive!</li>

<span style="font-family: verdana;">Set Up:</span></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<span style="font-family: verdana;"><br /></span></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<span style="font-family: verdana;">OK guys, <u>this is the secret to success</u>. You need to be able to sew somewhere that your machine will be at the same level as a flat surface roughly the size of the rug you want to make. You cannot fudge this step or you will end up making a basket. </span></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<span style="font-family: verdana;">I started by putting the weird little plastic table on my sewing machine (I have never used it) but in the early stages the rug grows so quickly that it outgrew that little table in no time.</span></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<span style="font-family: verdana;"><span face="Verdana, sans-serif">In the end, my kitchen table, butted up against the kitchen bench (With the Guinness </span><span face="Verdana, sans-serif">book of records under my machine to raise it) was the perfect workstation. There is a box, also on a book behind my machine and once the rug got wider than this arrangement I put chairs next to the bench. Yep, home beautiful all the way.</span></span></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<span style="font-family: verdana;">You really need to be able to sort this out, if you don't have a flat surface it is <u>impossible</u> to keep your rug flat.</span><br />

<div style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<span style="font-family: verdana;">I began by sewing the ends of the sashing cord together but that meant taking the rug out of the machine each time. The sashing cord had tape on each end to stop fraying, so in the end I just taped them together - woohoo !! Easy !!</span></div>
<div style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<span style="font-family: verdana;">As the rug grows it is going to get heavier - a lot heavier ! It will then become harder for your machine to 'pull' the rug through. Once the rug became very large, I would sew about 20 cm and then pull the rug around, constantly readjusting it so I was doing the heavy work not the machine.</span></div>

<div style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<span style="font-family: verdana;">Tips: if you have a needle up/needle down function on your machine set it at needle up. Once your rug gets large and heavy and you start shoving it around a bit,you are less likely to break a needle if you leave it up. </span></div>

<span face="Verdana, sans-serif"><br /></span><span style="font-family: verdana;"><span face="Verdana, sans-serif">I wrapped the end of the sashing in sticky tape (just one layer) and then cut it, tapering it to a kind of point. I covered the raw cut edge with a bit more tape and then wrapped it and sewed. A little spot of backtacking and the rug is done!</span><br />
<span face="Verdana, sans-serif"><br /></span>
<span face="Verdana, sans-serif">Note : My machine collected an amazing amount of lint during this project. I am not sure if it was the hours of sewing in one sitting, or something to do with the cotton sashing but it is worth your while to stop every few hours and remove the lint build up.</span></span><br />

<div style="text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<span style="font-family: "verdana" , sans-serif;">Using the Moda fabrics and Aurifill threads we were sent I designed my block called Pack your Bags ! (Page 92). It is a super easy pieced block with a little bit of embroidery. When I looked through the finished book I felt like perhaps my block was too simple - but I decided that people might like an easier block amidst the triple somersault paper piecing upsidedown applique throw your leg over ones.</span></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<span style="font-family: "verdana" , sans-serif;">I designed this block to celebrate the travel that eventuated because of this crafty life. My very first overseas trip was to America for the International Quilt market and it was the start of many trips and so much fun.</span></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<span style="font-family: "verdana" , sans-serif;">Are you part of the sew along? If you are then Pat is your host this week and if you enter you could win a great prize from Aurifill.</span></div>

<span style="font-family: Verdana, sans-serif;">Today I went shopping with Daughter, we started off at a cute little vintage clothing place. I was the walking wallet, and happily so. I bought two crazy western styled shirts for Son but Daughter found nothing.</span></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<span style="font-family: Verdana, sans-serif;">We headed off and did some op-shopping (thrifting) and she bought some stuff and I tried not to breathe too deeply at the fountain of human odours mixed with moth balls.</span></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<span style="font-family: Verdana, sans-serif;">We went to a discount food bulk buying kind of place. It had the craziest array of foods , it had litres of toppings, like you use for milkshakes, plus the pumpy things to put in the top. I stood there for a ridiculous amount of time trying to justify buying one.</span></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<span style="font-family: Verdana, sans-serif;"> They had food items for five cents !! Five cents, you can't even put five cents in a parking meter... They also weird angry woman doll things to make your fridge smell good.</span></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<span style="font-family: Verdana, sans-serif;">Then we saw the bag of sauce, yes a BAG of sauce.... like litres of sauce.... a huge bag of sauce (ketchup). It was like the bag of wine inside a cask , but clear and full of sauce. It had no valve it was just a sealed bag...of sauce.</span></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<span style="font-family: Verdana, sans-serif;">I totally lost my shit. I could not stop laughing. It was huge and blobby and wobbly and strangely medical...like a giant bag of sauce. I would stop laughing but then think about laughing and it would all start again like some weird hysterical time space distortion of laughing and I had to clench every woman muscle I have.</span></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<span style="font-family: Verdana, sans-serif;"><br /></span></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<span style="font-family: Verdana, sans-serif;">After I calmed down and wiped the tears, we continued to shop and yet </span><span style="font-family: Verdana, sans-serif;">I kept thinking of all the shit I could do with a bag of sauce. I could buy two bags and be totally sauce-rich. How would I decant it ? Could I pierce the bag and squirt it at people ? There was a lot of boxes of bags of sauce at this place...why hadn't I heard of sauce -related mischief around the town?</span></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<span style="font-family: Verdana, sans-serif;"><br /></span></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<span style="font-family: Verdana, sans-serif;">We kept shopping , we bought stupid stuff but its food so I am ok with it. </span></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<span style="font-family: Verdana, sans-serif;">On the drive home we discussed all the pranks we could pull with a bag of sauce. Oh how I wish I took a photo....</span></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<span style="font-family: Verdana, sans-serif; font-size: x-small;">(I have shoppers remorse-I can't stop thinking about the sauce)</span></div>

<span style="font-family: Verdana, sans-serif;">I will admit I am obsessed with stripey toys. They are just so cheery looking. This is my (almost) latest pattern. Three delightfully ridiculous monsters called Monster Mash. The pattern comes with facial variations, including the use of a jelly bead zip for the teeth. </span></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<span style="font-family: Verdana, sans-serif;">I really have had loads of fun playing with these guys. These would be an awesome beginner pattern or a pattern kids could work on. One of my pattern testers added a moustache and glasses to her monster !!</span></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<span style="font-family: Verdana, sans-serif;">This pattern is in ye olde etsy shop.... </span></div>

<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<span style="font-family: Verdana, sans-serif;">You know, there is no real news to share - which is great. A bit of normal and boring is good don't you think?</span></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<span style="font-family: Verdana, sans-serif;">I thought I'd pop in and share my favorite print from Bug City. </span></div>

<span style="font-family: Verdana, sans-serif;">This print is called collection. I love the order of bug collecting and the labeling and the tidy rows - I do not love the killing things bit. This print was my take on a bug collection. I popped a bit into a cheap frame and it looks awesome with the bonus of not having to kill actual bugs. </span></div>

<span style="font-family: Verdana, sans-serif;">Here we are, at the start of a fresh new week and I am going to walk you through my Bug City fabric collection. (forgive me if I miss a day - real job, you know). </span></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">

<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<span style="font-family: Verdana, sans-serif;"><br /></span></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<span style="font-family: Verdana, sans-serif;"> Bug City contains five prints with a total of 21 fabrics. Today's print is Beetles! I really enjoyed designing this range, working with bright colours and cute little motifs. There was another print that didn't make the cut - I might show it later in the week if I remember.</span></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<span style="font-family: Verdana, sans-serif;"><br /></span></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">

<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<span style="font-family: Verdana, sans-serif;">Beetles comes in the four colour ways shown below. When I first talked about this range with people I was warned not to add spiders to it but no-one mentioned beetles. This is a great print for clothes, from a distance it looks like little coloured blobs but when you get close you realise it is a bug skirt, or shirt. </span></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">

<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<span style="font-family: Verdana, sans-serif;">The strong blue is maybe possibly my favourite, although I have used the teal to cover a lamp and it looks awesome. I found that old metal beetle in an op-shop just a few weeks ago and for the princely sum of $5 he had to come home with me.</span></div>

<span style="font-family: Verdana, sans-serif;">This week I had to go to the doctor. I had a few other things to do on the same day so I planned out my itinerary.</span></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<span style="font-family: Verdana, sans-serif;">Now, at my house if you want to go somewhere and NOT be covered in dog hair when you get there...then you get dressed at the last possible minute which I did.</span></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<span style="font-family: Verdana, sans-serif;">I set off, it was a lovely day - kinda warm but manageable. It became apparent that I was wearing really uncomfortable pants. I was squirming in the car seat as I drove. I stopped at the post office and did my posting and paused for a sneaky readjustment as I got back into the car. </span></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<span style="font-family: Verdana, sans-serif;">Nope, still ridiculously uncomfortable. I tried driving one handed while fudging around the back of my pants to no avail. Did I have a burr in my pants ? why were they all sideways ?</span></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<span style="font-family: Verdana, sans-serif;">I did a bunch of small drop-offs and pick ups all the while getting crankier at the state of the stupid pants, determined I would throw the bastards into the bin as soon as I got home. </span></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<span style="font-family: Verdana, sans-serif;">I finally got to the Very Important Doctors place... and I waited. I squirmed a bit and waited some more. I waited until I started to feel the sweat rolling down my butt crack.</span></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<span style="font-family: Verdana, sans-serif;">It was like my arse was having a hot flush. </span></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<span style="font-family: Verdana, sans-serif;">After more than hour I get escorted into the Nurses office, where she bangs on and on and on and on about how hard it is to be a woman. I smiled a lot and squirmed, and really really wanted to deal with the pants. She talked a lot, basically warning me of every possible disease I could and would probably have as my body falls apart between now and my inevitably horrible death.</span></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<span style="font-family: Verdana, sans-serif;">(I don't think she was having a good day).</span></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<span style="font-family: Verdana, sans-serif;">Finally it is time to go behind the curtain and remove the lower half (yeah, one of THOSE visits). I rip off the pants with glee only to find, I was wearing a pair of brand new pants! So new in fact that they had two safety pins, three ribbons, three cardboard tags, a couple of those plastic string things and a little plastic bag containing spare buttons all tucked inside.....</span></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<span style="font-family: Verdana, sans-serif;"><br /></span></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<span style="font-family: Verdana, sans-serif;">I laughed so much I think the grumpy nurse will need stress counselling</span></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<span style="font-family: Verdana, sans-serif;"><br /></span></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
