One was to sew two blocks for the mystery quilt from the Today's Quilter magazine. These blocks are the fillers that go between the monthly blocks.
So because I had the fabric cut and could do, I made three!! Go me!! They need a border added, that will happen next time.
I also finished sewing the two and a half inch squares together, I started this a while back and happily sewed away, compared it to the other two I have finished and I have made this one a different size! Oh well, I will have to be creative with the border.
I know the photo looks the same, but the binding is now done and the bed runner has gone to it's new home, it is actually on the back of a couch, with one very happy owner.
The Supervisor has been on the job today in the door of the hall from the sewing room so he can keep an eye on me moving around and get the cool breeze coming in the back door.
Last week #1 son and partner and Hank came for dinner, we had a walk after dinner along the beach. Poor Hank can not have been out of his yard much in his previous home, he is frightened of stairs and refuses to come up or go down, he is frightened of changes in floor coverings so will not go from one room to another ( we had to carry him up and inside). He was also frightened of the rocks in the water, poor boy needs lots of outings to learn about life.
I am off for a G & T , soak in the bath and a good read.
Happy stitching.
The filler blocks are really eye catching! The patterned fabrics really pop. The bed runner looks great and I know the recipient is very happy with it.

ReplyDeleteAlways a good day when sewing gets done.
ReplyDeleteHope little Hank learns to enjoy his world.
Enjoy your week.
YOur blocks look great..... looks like lots of little pieces.... well done with the runner.
ReplyDeletePoor Hank.... he will get there slowly. My little girl never got over going through doors and any banging doors..... One just wonders what their previous lives were like...

Great work on your to do,list. The quilt runner looks great. Poor Hank....what a shame. Hopefully with more kindness and exposure he will begin to enjoy new experiences xx
ReplyDeleteLove your blocks in the first pic Sue. Gosh 2 inch squares - that sure is tiny. Lovely pic of the Supervisor, he reminds me of Miss Pippi who like to lay catching the breeze but keeping one eye on my movements also.
ReplyDeleteP.s forgot to say .... LoVe, love the bedrunner - its beautiful!!!
ReplyDeleteThose are cute little blocks; good on you being one step ahead!? The bed runner is gorgeous! I hope poor Hank starts to get a little braver - it sounds like he's gone to the right new home, where he is cared for a lot better. The sea must have been quite an event for him.
ReplyDeleteWhat fantastic work! So much effort and love in each one!
