We had another super chill Christmas even though it was very hot. The airconditioner was put on at 8am and didn't go off until we went to bed. Ended up with a sinus infection between christmas and new year so I was pretty fed up with myself by New Years Day but after 5 days of yuck it finally lifted.
I had a wonderful day on Saturday the local quilt shop (that went online 2 years ago) has started a sit and sew day the first weekend of the month. So I'm all booked up.
Over Christmas I picked up a number of Japanese embroidery books so I have started a Christmas Table runner on some white linen. That was my project for the first month. The first motive is powering along but I'm not committing to which Christmas it will be finished.
The table cloth from my last post has gone back in the cupboard.
I've moved along with the hand piecing the end is in sight.
Over the break I did a bit more folding and tidying of the fabric cupboards (mainly to find the linen to do the embroidery). In my travels I found a project that I thought might be worth finishing. Here are the blocks so far. When I first pulled them out I was planning a 3 X 4 block quilt not realising how big these suckers are when finished. I think the blocks are 23" so there is no way its going to be bigger the 3 x 3 now, so I will have a few left over blocks which I think I'll join and put on the back.
IT was my first day back at work today. I'm taking all my plant babies back to the office in stages because it is a bit of a chore to take them up the stairs to the office. DH and I repotted them all (which was more work than he was anticipating) but they are all in fresh soil and hopefully with thrive for another year. My succulents that have been on the balcony filled up the previous container so I got a nice bowl removed all the babies and put them back into the old pot to grow again.
Thats it for me I'll try and blog a bit more regularly this year.
Head to kate's you know the drill.
