........ at the end of this rainbow on Saturday morning?
no ........ just some sheepies!!
so what did I buy on Friday?
three bargain metre lengths, to use for Linus quilts
ricrac for the kits for the patchwork class
I love a bargain!!
a small hoop for machine quilting, to use with my smaller sewing machine
sashiko thread
lots of luscious beads
I'm blaming Maureen for this last purchase .......... she dragged me to the stall and twisted my arm up my back until I bought it....... she pointed out this delightful kit, knowing that I am an owl fan
when I got home, there were two little parcels for me. The first contained these sewing-related charms. I had been looking for scissor charms when I found this pack of mixed charms
but as I needed eight scissor charms, I searched further, and found these ones
when I was busy sewing on Saturday, this film was on tv
the film starts with Charlton Heston getting in a pod, to sleep for a year. He is clean-shaven when he gets in, but as you can see, he has a full beard when he wakes up. I don't want to nit-picky ......... but why does he have short fingernails - surely they would have grown as much as his beard?
the nuthatch paid a brief visit to the peanut feeder this morning
when I was out in the garden this afternoon, a little flash of yellow caught my eye. These are miniature narcissi, just six inches high
I'll be back tomorrow with a sewing update, although I can't show you one of the the things I am working on at the moment ........ I am hand quilting the Abbey Quilters' raffle quilt. I am spending two hours every evening stitching away, crosshatching twenty five Baltimore blocks. I have done the lines in one direction on all the blocks, and am on the tenth block working the lines going the other way. Once I have finished, I'll pass the quilt on for quilting to be done on the applique centres of the blocks, then someone else will put the binding on. I hope to be able to show you the quilt soon.
