chopping charms

Our return home from Florida was, thank goodness, uneventful, and I spent yesterday with the girls, in between yawning and doing loads of washing, and today was back to school.

This evening I had the house to myself, so I chopped the fabric for the charm square swap while I listened to "the help" on audio book.



I was having such a lovely time I then started chopping more of my new fabrics into 5" and 8" squares ready for more I-spy quilts.  A lovely evening

  3. Welcome back. This is a lovely way to spend an evening (ohh I feel a song coming on). I too loved the book 'The Help' - just read 'Gilead' bt Marylyn Robinson (it has two offshoots - 'Home' and 'Housekeeping' and loved them too) - kept me occupied on holiday.

  9. Great scott, woman! Can't you spend even one evening doing nothing? You went back to work, after all, wasn't that enough without putting the rest of us to shame?!? ;-) Glad that you're home safe and back with your sewing machine....x
