Lately there has not been a whole lot
of time for sewing at my house.
When I can't sew, I THINK about sewing.
{I call it research.}

Recently I watched a YouTube video from Bee In My Bonnet,
and she showed us how to make her adorable
Mini Design Boards.
Even in my little house, I've got space for these!
I got busy and made myself 6 of them!
It really rang true when I heard Lori Holt say
that most mistakes made during block assembly,
happen between the ironing board
and the sewing machine.
I'm hoping these organizing boards will cut down on my errors
in that department!
I had fun picking out some favorite fabrics for the edges.
Lori's method of trimming the raw edges with fabric
is really fun and easy,
with super-cute results!
If you're not a fan if videos,
there is a post with the same tutorial,
found here on the Bee In My Bonnet blog.
I followed the tutorial exactly as it was described,
and I have just one additional suggestion:
Keep a bowl of ice water handy,
for when you can't resist trying to get those corners
nice and neat. Ouch! That glue is hot!!!
{Oh, who's gonna notice that the edges are not quite perfect? Just have fun!}
