Today was my Scamblesby day - the day that we meet once a month to sew It started as a way of raising funds for a very dilapidated village hall but is now a thriving group of friends with a lovely atmosphere. We talk, we eat, we talk, we sew, we talk - you get the picture? It's also a day that I can set aside some projects to start, finish, continue with / complete. 
Today I was working on Mandy Shaw's "A Quilter Lives Here" quilt and was able to surround some more applique blocks with the patchwork - I can see how it is coming together now.
Sewingbuddy had been up to Scarborough yesterday to The Sewing Centre where decent fabric is ridiculously cheap - so she kindly got me some for next year's project. Sewingbuddy really has a good eye for colour.
Today was also an opportunity to start sewing the mystery three Christmas presents. Since the three are identical it made sense to me to do each step on each project so step one was completed today - tick.
Today was also the first official day of Bedroom Watch (sorry if that sounded a little naughty) - the gutting of the bedroom. So far I've two carrier bags full of books ready for the church hall, a bag full of rubbish to throw out and have two fire loads of receipts from handbags etc - and I haven't even scratched the surface yet!
What a great day we had today at Scamblesby, everyone is so friendly and we all get on so well.

ReplyDeleteThe quilt is really looking lovely.
Are you sure there are enough hours in the day for all these projects!!!?
Bedroom clutter.....where does it all come from aye!
No Happymum - there are not enough hours in the day - perhaps I am getting a tad obsessed but it keeps me off the streets. Now - if only I didn't have to sleep!! As to bedroom clutter - watch this space to see what I found under the bed - yikes!!
