    Default Saturday Sewing

    Is anyone spending at least part of the day sewing today?
    I have been so busy lately, and finally have a free weekend.
    Cleaning and laundry are waiting for tomorrow.
    I did some work around the house this morning, but
    this afternoon I have been spending sewing. Needed to '
    take a quick break to give my eyes and neck a break.
    Am working on some Christmas presents for family and
    friends.

    Hope others are finding time to sew today too!

    I sewed for several hours this morning, got a wave pattern quilt put together and now have it all pinned and ready to fmq. It felt so good to get it done!

    I made my first log cabin block today. ...I have heard it said a lot of people say this is an easy block. I have looked at log cabins for some time & never did one. So I took the plunge today & did my first one. It came out better then I expected but still not exactly as I would have liked. I think I tend to be to much of a perfectionest. I have made several quilts I can't figure why this intimadates me so much..oh well...onward I go.

    I'm working on a black/white and hot pink French braid quilt for our granddaughter. I can only look at those strips for so long, and then I need to walk away. That's why I'm here now!

    Does it count if I am sewing but not quilting? Working on more pajama pants.

    An apron and catching up on the train mystery quilt in between laundry and dog walking. Oh, and a Spicy Spiral table runner on another machine. I just stopped to catch my breath after the walk.
