I know plenty of people didn't get two weeks off over Christmas and New Year, and I know I'll (mostly) enjoy work when I get back, but . . . really, do I have to go back tomorrow?
I've had a lovely sewing time! As well as the stuff I showed on 27th, 28th and 29th December . . .
I also have these three iSpy quilts now ready to bind and finish for a customer:
And I have a new bag for my travel ironing board (for classes): thanks to the amazing Bag Lady, Liz for the straps lesson
And I have another iSpy, this time as staggered bricks using the off cuts from the larger squares, which will sit and wait until a baby needs it
And I have this zigzag quilt which has been waiting patiently for ages to be bound: I was peeved because two deliveries of Kona Cornflower came as two different shades and I didn't realise until too late, but I had to chuck it or complete it, so I choose the 'complete' option!
I started this blog for me - it expanded to show BFF Jackie what I was doing - and a few others have invited themselves too - everybody welcome! Mostly about patchwork, with random comments about embroidery, family and life in general, come on in, put your feet up, and I'll put the [virtual] kettle on.
Alas, 'tis what pays for the fabric...
ReplyDeleteMay your days pass swiftly and your evenings linger.
ReplyDeleteshame having to go back to work, how I like retirement! Some lovely quilts here you have been very productive. I have lots of fabrics bought on a whim, half metres mostly and I think they will work well with I spy so maybe I will add them to my 2105 list I am making
ReplyDeleteGosh Benta, you did make great use of your time. Roll on retirement though :)
ReplyDeleteI'm with you, today has been HORRIBLE
ReplyDeleteIt's a shame about the Kona Cornflower, but, at first glance, I didn't actually realise it wasn't meant to look like that until I read it. It looks like you've been super productive in your time off. I'm sure you will quickly get back into your work/sewing groove.
ReplyDeleteBusy, busy, busy! Hope that work is full of winter joy, even if it takes away your stitching time!
ReplyDeleteCongrats on making such good use of your time. You put us all to shame :)
