Through My Rose Coloured Glasses

Plugging away on Project: Kona Nerds, Unite! this week...sewing, cutting, slicing, dicing, scratching my head...I felt ultra-ambitious Friday afternoon, bored with making straight lines and filling holes. So I got out my pencil, some Steam-a-Seam Lite and I played. Before I knew it, this had happened....


The glasses were a Google image clip art that I printed out at 195% and the letters were sketched, traced in reverse and then fused in place. I stitched the letters down first and then happily zig-zaged my lil heart out to attach those super cute glasses on top. 



So now the bottom half sits here:


Things are really getting close, through my rose coloured glasses I can see unity in the palm of my hand. A lot of these units are sewn now, I think I'm going to end up a half inch too wide...which is easy to remedy! Chop, chop! Just 4 more chunks of joining patchwork are necessary to bring me to that final seam of flimsy-finishing-glory.
