Sewing Time

pattern and 70 triangles
With all that is going on in the world and our own neighbourhoods and homes, it is a great time to be a crafter or quilter!! Time to stay put and get some projects done...no travelling, no visitors, I don't even have to do groceries!!
So today as yesterday I will be working on a spider web quilt. I have completed 70 triangles and yesterday I prepped 70 more. I had a math error and thought 70 would be enough only to discover that I had half of what I needed. So I have ironed(i didn't do this before and think it will be easier) a bunch of strips from my string box and hope to put a dent in the 70 triangles today!!I am sewing them to a phone book page with the black circle fabric as my constant and it will be the star once the top is together.
pieces for the next 70 blocks

The binding is almost done on the whole cloth quilt. More about it on this post. It is a long way around 96 x 109. One more evening should be enough.That will be my slow stitching later this evening as I put thread and needle together as my friend Kathy does each Sunday for slow stitching!

Let's see how much we can get done in the coming days at home..isolating ourselves!
