Today was a Scamblesby sewing day and my self imposed deadline for the quilt. I arrived early and quickly settled down to the task - trying to focus although I was distracted by the croissants, lunch, lots of talking and demonstrating English Paper Piecing which was needed for the next bonus block. By the end of the day I just had one seam to sew on the machine and three to hand sew - before adding the binding - that was until I turned it over to show the others- and spotted the mistake- grrrrrr. Ah well, that's tonight's work sorted and the deadline has now been officially moved to Tuesday night!!
As ever there was a variety of projects being completed - from bag making to hand sewing, from block making to waste bag gluing!
On the way home I popped into Aldi and paid by cash. I was given a new £5 note with a code that started with AM. I don't know whether you were aware of the story but an artist engraved quotes from
Jane Austen onto 4 £5 notes making them valued up to £50000. Three have been found but one is still at large - all notes started with AM at the beginning of their code. If you don't hear from me tomorrow then you will know that I have found the fourth one!!
