Today

I cleaned the house, caught up on the washing

then headed downstairs to my sewing room to find

a pattern for Master A's quilt.

This is what I found

Master A is only 3 so it should do him for a few years

I decided to make Miss K a quilt of

Granny Squares using my stash of

Ruby by Bonnie and Camille

there is a fabulous tutorial here

the tutorial is for a

4 blocks wide, 5 blocks long quilt

I want it to fit a single bed so I thought

I would make a 5 wide, 6 long top

I finished this block over the weekend

and have 1 ohio star left to make to have block 2

finished, but I got sidetracked by Granny Squares

maybe I will get it done tomorrow.

and my sewing buddy sent the afternoon here

dear dear Henrycat



Big Big Weekend

and I was suffering BIG TIME when I woke up this morning.

Yesterday dh and I became godparents to

2 very sweet little people

Miss K and Master A

after the christening we went back to their house for

lunch, drinkies and lots of laughs, dinner, more drinkies

and more laughter

I have no idea what time it was when we finally made it home,

I suffered from the dreaded hangover today

I wanted to make some more hexagons but my head

just wasn't up to the hum of my sewing machine

instead I sat on the couch with my Christmas Fun

buttons, water and panadol and stitched block 2, tomorrow I will sew it

together and that means I am on to block 3

they are so small so stitch up very quickly :)

tomorrow I might sit down and do the last of the

handstitching on In My Garden and get it ready

to start the quilting process, and I need to stitch the binding

onto Miss Em's new quilt which has been waiting to be finished

since July....yep July 2011, you just can't rush these things and Miss

Em will be very impressed to have her new quilt finally on her bed.

Time well spent

I have sewn some more hexagons and have another 18 waiting to

be sewn together

I found my Christmas Fun buttons

and fabrics

bought the floss yesterday

and have the first block ready to stitch tonight

and the applique ready to sewn on

and I have done some work on my SKoW

I think I am good until the end of May :)
