Have decided to loop-de-loop on the borders of a baby quilt I had started some time ago - hopefully I will get to that Ptoo (AFTER I practice a LOT!)
Will post pix when I get around to getting my Lithium batteries!
Am starting on a minimum of sleep since the jokers upstairs decided to party starting at 1 AM and only quieting down after they woke me, I got mad and went up and beat on their door and threatened to call the cops. Personally I think a brass band starting at 6 AM and playing LOUDLY would only be too good for them! Especially if it played in their ears!
Am playing with my dd Wendy (like yesterday) - work for 15 then sew for 45. Somehow makes the housework a bit more palatable! Maybe. So far I have laundry going, bathroom scoured, my bed made and room straight. Mostly because I forgot to set my timer for the 15 minutes part!
Now to sew (am taking my walk-around phone in there since I can't connect up my computer in the sewing room because there are no phone outlets working there!). First up - baby quilt!
..............................
Sometime after 3 PM
Everything was going great - UNTIL I ate lunch - since then I could hardly drag my legs from one step to another sooooooooo.............. Time for a Nap break!
DID cut the border strips for the RxR - was concerned that I might need 1 -2 other borders (albeit VERY narrow 1" wide unbleached muslin ones) - and so showed Wendy - she thinks it will be fine without. She was a bit concerned that the gold was fading right into the background - and in truth, online it tends to - but in reality - it looks nice there! Did find out that I do NOT have a lot of my favorite dark strip - but hopefully enough for a 4.5" border (would have loved a 5.5 or a 6" border - but 4.5" will do - has to - not enough fabric for more!)
Baby blanket - ALMOST done - am at the press everything stage (same for the RxR) then sew the sashing strips between the rows, quilt, and slap on the binding (am thinking may be a self-bound maybe - or if not - then will repeat the gold)
Both will have to wait until later - going to sleep now
