Catching Up

This is a very quick post to let you know where I am this weekend. As the title of this post suggests I am catching up and will be at my sewing machine for a few hours this holiday weekend. I decided I would like to join in with Judy Laquidara’s ‘Quilt for an hour’, and last weekend collected the fabrics I wanted to use for this star quilt together and started cutting out the fabric for the half square triangle units.





Unfortunately I couldn’t go much further with my cutting as, while I thought I had every ruler under the sun, when I did a search I found was wrong because I was missing these two little ones.

The fabric was put on one side until my friendly postman came knocking on my door with a little parcel later in the week. Due to other things, (yes, I do other things besides sewing) I couldn’t start cutting the other units out until this morning. So now we have these.


And these


I do realise that this is a holiday weekend and the garden is calling me to pot up and plant for some hours. I also am having my grandson to stay overnight. But I am really going to steal a few hours this weekend to get caught up with this project.

I will let you know how it goes.
