Mondays are like white paper and a box of crayons, fresh for me to use like I want. New week, new chances :-)
Today has been the first ordinary Monday since mid December - just plain everyday life - ordinary activity, like laundry, cooking, sewing and more, and I have enjoyed every minute of it.
As you see I now have 2 more NI block to my name - one for yesterday and one for today, and now I am not behind anymore :-)
I will count it in May Britt's WISP (work in slow progress) count.
I started it in January 2007, bringing it to hospital to do when waiting for my surgery.
Not a stitch taken that day or the week after, not until I came home and could sit in my own chair, with good light and my candle and coffee :-)
I was not happy with the way the cushion front turned out the other day, so I picked the fabrics off and re-did it with fabrics I got in my Christmas calendar, re-using an old cushion back that looks as good as new.
The backs do not fade and all the button work is already done.
The stitchery is a pre-printed Lynette Anderson design, The Allotment.
Congratulations, Hanne ! I KNEW you would make it !
ReplyDeleteYour blocks are awesome : such precision ! Wish I had half your talent !
I'm not sure I would dare diving into such a demanding project, but you surely inspire me to make a two color quilt... some day :>)
Hugs & smiles, dear !
