Saturday Sewing.

I didn't start early like i planned. You know how it is. Get on the internet start looking at thing, blogs ect & time flies. I spent an hour tracing out 2 templates onto fabric for Gossip In The Garden. Then it was time to take a daughter summer PJ shopping. Arrived back home in time for morning tea but it was only a cup of tea as i've no time for baking anymore. :(  That done with  it was time to be back into the sewing room for more tracing & then cutting. By lunchtime i had this,
About 130 pieces for the 2nd border of Gossips. The long strips are the first border.  Lunch over, after sharing some banana with the dog, It's back to sewing. The dog has to have her daily banana or whatever fruit i'm eating. Spoilt animal. The next few hours resulted in this,
All 4 borders done minus the end pieces. They are done a little differently than the pieces i cut earlier. By this time though my body was protesting about all the sitting. Time for a cuppa & to read a book. Then early bed after dinner, again cooked by my daughter, as i had a random migraine form.

Happy Stitching,

Good work Jeanette and the borders look great!
I don't know why the days seem to fly by so quickly when you want to do creative work, and the internet is a big distraction too!
Getting focused on projects can be difficult sometimes.
I hope you recovered from the migraine. Working at the desk is not good for the back or the head!

#4 Chookshed Stitchers Challenge.

 At the start of March i had this pile of blocks. I couldn't get my head around how to turn all these differing block sizes into a quilt...
