The Designers day off from the shop fell on a rather warm and sunny day so it would have been silly not to take advantage and block Starry Night.
 |
Blocking involves pinning item out into shape, wetting it and leaving it to dry naturally. As Starry Night was rather large, it also involved crawling around the lawn for just under 2 hours with a pot full of pins and a ruler! The Designer was very relieved when it was all done and she could sit to enjoy her coffee and recover. |
|
Now it was the time of the really hard work! While much of this was done in the garden, it was not all about sitting back and smelling the flowers. The original Starry Night was frogged back to the big stars and remade so that it could be used to take "How To" photos to go into the pattern. |

As parts of the pattern are quite tricky, the Designer decided to be very brave and drag her butt into the 21st century by also making videos. A "filming studio" was set up inside, a video editing program was downloaded and the bravery began! |
|
Before too long, there where a number of videos uploaded to YouTube and the Designer was feeling very pleased with herself! The next job on the list was the photoshoot. Rob Morris, a friend of the Designer had offered to do this for her so she jumped at the chance and a date was arranged!
