Four rows done! Whoop ! Whoop!
I'm quitting while things are going good.
To unwind, I allowed myself to work on a few star blocks for Smith Mountain Morning by Bonnie Hunter.
Notice how there are multiple sheets of printer paper stacked up on my sewing machine table. I layout multiple blocks, on each sheet of printer paper contains all the parts of one block to chain piece. I layed out 8 blocks in advance and then sat down to sew. The ironing board is on my left and I can just swivel and press. Also, on my ironing board is a cutting board (my temporary design wall) filled with all my pre-cut pieces.
Late this morning I had to drive over to LeClaire, IA, to meet with Pam Hughes at Expressions in Thread. I dropped off the order forms for the retreat supplies and discussed plans. After the plans were made, I had to do a little shopping. I had received a birthday card with a discount from the store. It was burning a hole in my pocket, of course. I found some great backing fabrics for two quilts and one border fabric. After this shopping, I was starving so I made a lunch stop at Hungry Hobo.
The restaurant faces the mighty Mississippi River. I sat there eating and enjoying the beautiful view.
Lunch was a baked potato filled with broccoli, cauliflower and cheese.
I have linked up with Patchwork Times today.
Hope you had a productive Monday!
Yours in quilting,
