I have spent the day sewing and cutting. But I get ahead of myself.
Last night I finished my Marian Keyes book. I really enjoyed it. I have liked all of her books that I have read. Not the sort of thing I would read often, but great for when I am in the mood. I have started the next book from the library stash:
Someone Knows My Name by Lawrence Hill. Completely outside of my normal realm of reading, it is about a slave woman in America in the 1800's. Like I said in the book reviews I did yesterday, I have new interest in this topic.
Ross was working today so I got stuck into my sewing. I am now halfway through the flowers. I have done 36 of the 72 I need to do. Once I got to that point I decided to finish cutting the hexagons for the flowers. I had done most of them, but had about another 200 to go. It took ages, but I got them done...
Of course, once they are all stitched together I have to attach them with over 700 light green hexies, then border with a couple hundred dark green, but I am trying not to think about that too much right now... LOL
Yesterday I ordered a couple of Jelly Rolls from Green Fairy Quilts who have a sale on at the moment. I am going to use them to start making my couch coverings and pillows. When they arrive I'll post photos. They are in shades of blue and I think they will look great.
