quilt top to be
|
Today will be a marathon sewing day. It has been so hot here the last couple of days that I didn't want to put the iron on but today that will have to be different. Blocks need pressing so I can start putting the quilt top together.I am self imposing a deadline to get the top finished so I can show it at guild on Monday night. Then I can quilt it and be ready before it is due in September.

| sale purchases |
I took an afternoon off this week and went to my local quilt store as she was having a sale. Clearing out older bolts of fabric to make room for new lines. I emptied a couple of bolts and got backing for a large quilt. At $5 a meter you can't go wrong. Also picked up a cheater panel quilt. The panels are very small but the quilt as a whole is very pretty. Also got a $5 bag of scraps...can't resist those they are like a bag of candy!
Speaking of candy...I can't seem to resist my hexie project at the moment. You can read more about it
here. All I want to do is sit and stitch on it. I have put a lot of stitches into it but it doesn't seem to be growing as fast as I would like! Oh well no deadline on that one...it is definitely a work in progress.
Happy Saturday everyone!
