Weekend round up.

Sunday evening always seems to come around too soon.

But I've had a good weekend, played some and rested some too.

Friday was a day of rest, I did very little I must confess. I read some blogs and surfed Pinterest and that was pretty much it, except for a little crochet.

I finally got around to getting a better image of my current project.

I made this one a few years ago, but decided that it needed to be bigger, so I've been adding more rounds in rainbow colours, with rounds of cream in between. 

It is a lovely cosy project to work on, especially on these cooler days and evenings.

On Saturday I zoomed with Chooky and the girls. I was late joining in, having gotten confused about times and time zones!

But once I finally joined in I made great progress. 

Preparing blocks for the outside edge of the Lucy Blue quilt. 

EPPers will know that although it sounds like I'm nearly done, in reality I am not. There is still a long way to go.

Sunday morning I pulled out my scrap bin and sorted more fabrics for the Scrappy Triangles.

(The squirrel pulled something else out too, more about that later).

I know it looks like I have missed corners here and there, but really I haven't.

I've trimmed the blocks a quarter inch beyond the cutting line.

I have four pages of block three printed and ready for next time.

Then Joe arrived with the children. It is Miss Charmaine's birthday tomorrow, she will be six.

Poor wee soul is not well though, she seems to be coming down with a cold or flu. She had a temperature and rosy red cheeks. (Not Covid, she had that just a few weeks ago).

Sadly they only really stayed long enough for her to open her gifts and for her cheeky little brother to impress Grandad with his knowledge of the word 'No' and his extensive knowledge of how to make dirty marks on clean windows.

LOL

Poor Grandad, he only washed the windows a couple of weeks ago.

After they had left I got busy with the latest squirrel project.

In one of my big bags of other peoples scraps there were some bundles of fabric that obviously belonged together, the recent Flutterby Bunnies was one such bundle. This time, it's bees.

Honey bees and their hives were bundled together with some cream and a natural coloured fabric.

All precut in to five inch squares.

A quick shuffle on the floor and it was time to sew them together.

In less then an hour I was hunting for a border fabric in my stash, but it looks like I'm going shopping.

And finally, no outdoor photography today, but old man tree gets a mention anyway.

The late afternoon sun shone through his branches and cast their shadows in to my room.

I loved the way the light and shade looked on the quilt top while I was pressing it. 

While I have been tapping away here, I've also been messaging with Debbie. We're going shopping tomorrow morning, I can look for a border fabric.

And just like that, the weekend is over. 

I hope yours was as good as mine.
