The wind is disgusting today, tearing through the trees, banging fences and roofs, pulling at the newly planted seedlings in the garden. As I was walking through the yard, collecting anything likely to blow away, the wheelie bin came bowling along and tumbled into the rose bed. I had to extricate it while the wind slapped maliciously at me and leaves and branches whirled past my head. Not a day to spend outside, methinks.
Yesterday I did a fair bit of sewing, watching Seinfeld episodes right from the beginning; the actors were so young they look like teenagers. I know it all so well, I can sew madly and just look up at the bits I really love.
I have 2 more blocks left to assemble, and then I will have 20.
I am debating with myself over the border fabric. I have 5 metres of paisley that my sensible self says would be fine; my silly self wants to go to the quilt shop at Jamestown and buy 2 metres of a new blue, that I have only a FQ of. If I use the paisley, it could be finished tonight. If I drive to the quilt shop, I won't get the top in one piece before Wednesday at least. We're still arguing about it.
I just did a tutorial on the house shapes I'm using, but I've left it as a separate post, so I can link back to it if I need to refer someone to it.
Dolly and I vote for a trip to the quilt shop. After all, they probably have something else you need and it's too windy to work outside.
ReplyDeleteMy vote is for the shop as well. You know you want to...
