I just had my weekend off work. I had planned to get on and do loads of things. But I had my booster shot on Friday and it made me pretty ill. I picked up my crochet on Friday, but Saturday was a write off. I spent most of the day sleeping. By Sunday I was massively improved and able to sit quietly and sew.
I had planned to make time to start my Christmas Ornament for December, but didn't feel up to that and instead I picked up Sea Swept. I had finished the binding a few days ago, but still had a couple of thread ends to bury. That was done in no time, and Tony helped me with a
TA DAA!
This photo really doesn't do much for it. It is stunning in real life.
Next I picked up Edyta's Garden. I had four flowers and some neutral spaces left to add.
The flowers were already made and it was just a case of adding them on. I did have to create the shapes for the neutral spaces, but that didn't take long.
Another almost Ta Daa!
I want to add a border before I call this one done.
It's difficult to get a good photo. These were taken last night, with lights on.
It's a very grey and overcast day here, so trying for a daylight shot probably won't work either.
So that was this and that. What's the next thing?
I still had some evening left after finishing with the garden hexies, so I pulled out some more hexies.
I first introduced you to Jenny's Hexies back in August.
And I took them with me when we went to Invercargill last month.
And here they are again.
I've added a few fabrics to the collection I received and plan to make a donation quilt with them.
So last night I spent a little time doing some more prep work and just because I could I put two more blocks together. It's going to be a very pretty, very girly little quilt.
And in my sewing room?
I mentioned that I wanted something to play with for a short time each morning, before starting my study for the day. And here it is. A very boyish I spy. I bought this fabric bundle a while ago. Twenty 10 inch squares in twenty different fabrics. They were on special, so I had to do it, didn't I?
There are tractors and diggers, boats and light houses, soccer and rugby fabrics and all manner of other things too. I chopped them each into four and then made up four patch units.
Next job is to find a good fabric for sashing.
But sadly not today. I've used up my me time this morning sitting here writing this blog post, so that will be a job for tomorrow.
So there it is. My weekend wasn't a total loss.
I hope yours was good.
Now I'm off to study Chronic Obstructive Pulmonary Disease.
