Well I have had a couple of days where I could just sit and sew. I made a lot of progress on a quilt I have been making. I took the intricate block from the last mystery and used a second pretty basic block for an amazing look! I have the second blocks all finished. I am ironing little pieces on the intricate block. I have most of the little two piece and three piece portions sewn. Now to get all the little two and three piece portions sewn to each other. I love this block, even if it has fifty-seven pieces! I used the first ones I made from total scraps as a table runner. I love it, it kinda looks a bit Christmassy on my table with my decorations on it. This is the mystery colored block. For the new one, I am using cream, maroon, and black. It is gorgeous!
With Christmas just around the corner, we are fully booked at our homestay. We will be very busy until the middle of February. Then we get a reprieve for a bit. I am looking forward to the extra money, but the work, not so much! Been pretty busy with washing, cleaning, and sleeping!
I have had a wee bit of of time to work on the new teddy bear I have been working on. I took a bigger pattern from one I designed a few years ago and tweaked it to be about half the size. I am enjoying the little time I do get to sew on it. I still have quite a ways to go, but at least I have gotten a start! Wish I had more time, I know we all wish the same thing!!!!!
Have a great week!
