Not much to tell......

It's been a quiet couple of weeks at Chez Loz......work has been busy and I have been going to bed early (for a change) and consequently not much stitching has been happening at night......nothing much else to report.......no road trips or quilting classes.....

Last Saturday Mrs P came to visit and we spent a lovely afternoon stitching and even popped out for lunch which of course meant  some time was spent browsing in a few shops in Tanunda......

I did have my tray of EPP set up next to my chair for some stitching during the week but it just didn't happen so no progress has been made on the next lot of six pointed stars....

perhaps I might get some more done this week....

 

 

Last Sunday I made some progress on the "Surrounded" quilt started at the workshop at Threadbear a couple of weeks ago......that's one row done .... :)

 



I left the machine set up on the dining table and thought I might get some more done during the week but that didn't happen so after spending most of yesterday on domestic chores I started again this morning.......there is a lot of cutting and piecing in this quilt and I spent quite a while just cutting so I could start stitching....I decided I would cut everything which meant I could just sit and sew later.......and here you have it.....all cut out and ready to sew...

 

 

I started on the next row of sashing and after a bit of lunch and maybe a little nap I finally got back to the machine late this afternoon....I should have just left it until next weekend because there were a few points not matching and a bit of reverse sewing....I think the decision to stop came when I unpicked the wrong seam (one that was perfect in the first place and didn't need unpicking.....) grrrrrr...sometimes it's best to just put it all aside for another time...so with one almost completed row of sashing done I didn't really have much to show for the day........

 

I did spend a bit of time with these two girls today.....the sun came out for a while and we made the most of it.......very hard to get a good pic of them...they are pretty much always on the move when they are outside.......Lexi is staying with us for a few days while her foster parents are away....always nice to have her visit!

Here they are in more relaxed mode indoors.....

When I left work on Friday night the moon was already up and I got a couple of pics when I got home.....very spooky I thought.......

 

 

 So as you can see....not much to tell even though it's two weeks since I posted.....hopefully I won't be falling asleep at 8.30 every night this week and will get some stitching done.

 

'Til next time.............................Lorraine
