was supposed to be the day I cut more orange fabric and continued on with the book reading quilt, but you can see I got distracted! I have had this panel hanging about for weeks, so today I cut the strips and sewed them on and we have another book reading quilt top.
As the weather was so good the sheets etc plus the quilt off our bed got a wash and to hang in the sun today.
Hubby decided today was the day for the big launch of the present he got me for Christmas....my own rowing boat...so we pumped it up...
carried it down to the beach and off we went
coordination is not so good
might be getting the hang of it, actually it is very peaceful just floating about!!
hubby went out for a turn, rowed and floated about
and then broke one oar..mmmmm.....he promises to fix it tomorrow! So i had a swim and sit in the sun instead.
Back home the washing needed to be brought in, the Supervisor came to "help"
we have some plums on the tree but the birds have had the best feed as I wasn't here to put the net over the top.
I have had these strips of fabric on my sewing desk for months, they came off another project, I thought they might be good for the little stars, so today stuck on the templates and cut some out, have more to do while watching tv tonight.
I had better go and rescue the pasta for dinner!
Happy sewing.
That boat looks so fun! If it were mine I probably wouldn't get much stitching done, I'd be playing with it all the time!
ReplyDeleteLove your boat, broken oar and all.😁
ReplyDeleteGorgeous Sue! Love the rowing boat ... think you will enjoy just relaxing out in it rather than rowing :-) I see your lawns are turning brown ... we have good rain today so ours might green up a bit.
ReplyDeleteI love your big star quilt.... so nice when they get a wave in the fresh air.... Gosh you are brave in the sea in that little boat - I'd be terrified of being carried off. With one oar you could safely row around in circles!!
ReplyDeleteHappy piecing stars...
