Saturday Night

It's Saturday night and I am home sitting by the heater, rugged up with a couple of quilts, trying to get warm. Had a lovely day at the homeschool conference - all went smoothly, thank goodness, and there was lots of encouragement to be had. I bought the speaker's book, so I am looking forward to reading a bit more in depth about what she spoke on.

I was tempted to bring some stitching with me, but thought I'd better behave myself and be a good hostess instead :) But that's ok, I did do some sewing on Friday while I was resting....

I dragged out my basket of scraps:


And made these string blocks:


I really want to make a quilt out of these, before the strings challenge runs out :)

Then I worked on the third border of the Round Robin.. yes, I am very behind... but I will get there :) This is how it looks like so far:


I think I like it :) Maybe tomorrow I'll get to work on the next border...

Oh, after I get out the next Fruit of the Spirit block :) What with being sick and running conferences I forgot.... bad me.... hmmm... now which one was next again? You'll see soooooon!

QUILTING IS BLISSFUL, DI said...

Am happy to hear that you are apparently feeling better and that your parent thing went well!!!
I also have a collection of scraps for the string challenge--but--what am I doing--sorting--cleaning--and all that "junk"--maybe next week I will have more time ---Ha Ha!!!
Hugs, Di
