On Wednesday, I took a little break from pattern-editing work, and spent the day sewing with a friend. We had a fabulous day, and it has left me all fired up for more sewing plans!
I worked on a couple of disappearing nine-patch quilt tops. I think that I might be a bit addicted to the simplicity of this design. I've got another pair of quilts planned around it after these...
I started the day with all my fabrics cut into the required 5" squares, and I made 24 of these blocks.
We had all of the things needed for a lovely day spent with a friend - namely cake and plenty of tea/drinks! For lunch we cooked a bean, chorizo and butternut stew, which was so delicious that I finished it off for my dinner!
And by the time Sarah left at 5, I had completed two matching centre panels.
They just need borders, basting and binding now. I'm hoping to have some time to put them together over the weekend, before I get on the road. One of them is promised to an old friend, and the other will be for one of the many new arrivals that are expected over the coming months.
In the evening I made my way around half of the edging on my Flukra shawl, so the end of this lovely pattern is sadly imminent.
