IT'S HIP TO BE SQUARE...
Hi everyone, the first of July is here and where has the year gone, that's what I'd like to know! Whoosh, that's where... It's still good to meet up on a Wednesday and see how all my friends are doing, the week would seem wrong without it lol!
I've had square eyes this week (all doing ok after the op and the use of soothing drops has really helped my dry eye in all the heat/dust/pollen etc etc) because of this:
I was told that I couldn't bend over until the four weeks were over so the usual method of laying out the quilt squares wasn't going to happen. So I put them in a pile and thought I'd do random. Hah, like THAT was going to happen.... As each square was put next to the row I'd do it one way first:
...and then invert it (the square on the right is the one in question)
...and see which way I liked it best. So it was nearly random but not quite!! *grin* Anyway it was a quick method of sewing them up and I put them together with the backing on my dining table for my most disliked part of the process, the pinning together of all the layers...like pulling teeth...
I had sorted out the squares into a cooler group..
..and a brighter one. There are places where I could have changed things up but hey, that's life!
As the weather's been cooler, I've continued expanding my prickle of hedgehogs:
I've run out of black for the features so am waiting for a parcel to arrive today. These are quite sparkly and fun but I still prefer the browny coloured ones. Worth an experiment for the £2 it cost for the yarn!
Hope you have a great week and enjoy your crafting xxxx
