The Vege Quilt

Do you ever have those days when your hands are itching to do some patchwork but the brain just isnt up to taking on a project of measuring and cutting and sewing little bits back together.

I had one of those on Saturday. It was wet. DH had gone to town for some convoluted reason that was really just code for "I'm going visiting at the mates place" and I was home alone. Too wet to go outside, too wet to do the washing, and amazingly the housework was already done as we had been expecting visitors for which it was too wet for them to arrive.

So what was I to do. Hmmmmmmmmmmm. The first time in 7 months that I had the opportunity to pull out the sewing machine and I was just too dang tired for the wherewithall to take on/return to a serious project.

Dont you love the feeling it gives you to renew your relationship with your stash. Almost as good as the high you get when you find a simple, quick, no thought project just sitting in your cupboard awaiting your time.

..................and wallah you have the vege quilt top. The easy peasy no thought flannel squares all sown together in the day.



Not spectacular but it will be snuggly for the winter.

A Wet Return

It is raining. 10mls this morning and still raining. Definitely a timely and welcomed event in this part of the world.

Welcomed not just for the countryside but because it means that for the first time since my last post I get time at home alone to please myself with sewing and visiting my blogger friends.

I am looking forward to finding out what you have been up to these past few months.

Cheers for now
