I have had nearly two weeks at home, which has been pretty wonderful. I haven't achieved much of the big clean up I wanted to tackle. I've spent a lot of time in the shop, so that the other people who run it could take a break. I've sorted out stuff that mice had got into in my absence (poxy little creatures). I've spent time catching up with family here. So overall, not a lot on my list was ticked off, but it has been relaxing.
I did take a couple of days to sew like a mad thing, and as a result my Tumelo Trails is done.
I'm really happy with how it turned out, it was a lot of fun collecting those shirts and then choosing combinations for the blocks.
I couldn't face that piano key border, so I used leftover 3.5" triangles to make the border. I like how airy it makes the finished quilt.
I left it on the design wall for a day, then folded it up and out these blocks back up.
It's been forever since I worked on them, and I had fun last night moving it further along. I love he blue-greens in this, and the back and white is so crisp. They are a fun block to make.
But alas, I'm back to Adelaide again today. Shonny is nearly 38 weeks pregnant, and Isla is sick, so I'm going down to help wherever I can. Shonny needs a few nights uninterrupted sleep. Hayden is home in a week, and I'm hoping that baby stays put until he gets here, otherwise it will be me in the birthing suite with Shonny. I'm useless, I had two C-sections, so all I could do is hold her hand and be encouraging. I guess that will be enough.
Goodluck hope that baby stays there for a few more days..... Sounds busy at your place like mine..... Lots happenibg.....
ReplyDeleteI am sure you will be fine in the birthing suite, someone to hold your hand and yell at is the main thing! Good luck. Nice quilt, I like this Bonnie Hunter pattern...its on my one day list!
