I am going shopping today for a sofa and a dresser. My sewing room is somewhat a mess but I unpacked all of my fabric and have my sewing and cutting tables set up. I'm ready to sew as soon as my squishy arrives. Checked the tracking and I should be receiving it on Thursday. Thanks Janice!
Thoughts and prayers to all who are ill and those recuperating from injuries. I hope everyone has a good day today.

Whatever they are kind, intelligent people just screwed up enough in the head that they are also funny as hell.

klaws so glad you are getting settled but those stairs make me tired just thinking about it..I was all psyched up to start chemo and radiation yesterday, phone rang 40 minutes before the appt. and they tell me the machine was down. Now it's next Monday....chemo has to be 5 consecutive days. Disappointing or a blessing not sure which...…I just really need to get this show on the road and get it over with.

I've been working on a quilt to combine octos, hexies, and 4 patch posies in the same quilt. Here are a few pics of my progress so far.
[ATTACH=CONFIG]596162[/ATTACH]
The original fabric
[ATTACH=CONFIG]596163[/ATTACH]
2 of the 9 planned octos
[ATTACH=CONFIG]596164[/ATTACH]
The cut out parts for the octos (big triangles) and the hexies
I now have all the half hexies sewn, but need to get them pressed and everything on the design wall for hexie layout. I already know the layout of the octos.

There’s no rule about avoiding duplicates, but I try not to make one that’s already been made for a person. But it happens and that’s aok.

I won a ticket to a sewing retreat for this weekend so will be leaving Thursday morning , well Wednesday night is more like it, with a 6:30 am flight that leaves from an airport 2 1/2 hours away. Right after squishy is scheduled to get here on wed. I’m tempted to take a few with me to work on in between the retreat projects, might be a nice Gear shift from a cathedral window and bag making.
