It was another Sew In with Maritime Modern Quilt Guild. But first I participated in the Epic Canadian 5K race. I'm a walker, pretending to be runner, but I achieved a personal best today -- 5K walk/jog in 46:57. Yeah me!!!! That's three minutes off my usual 50 minutes.
Then it was off to sew with the ladies. It was good to finally meet Julia from Jada's Quilting Adventures. I decided to work on a plus quilt for a commissioned baby quilt. Once all the blocks were sewn together, I realized that it was far too big for a baby quilt. So this evening, I cut it half and continued on. Now to figure out how to quilt it. Suggestions?
I'll add a border to the other half and make another baby quilt -- a gift that is long overdue.
Thanks to QJ for lending me her Hex N More ruler so I could cut my fabric for some Candy Dish Pillows.
Next week is going to be an adventure -- a whole week of vacation with no plans. I've never had a week of vacation without going somewhere. I hope to get a lot of quilting done and hopefully a sew day with QJ. Perhaps a trip to the Shore Shore to visit with QD.
Well time for a soak in the tub to soothe the aches muscles from all the walking/running and quilting today.
Well, by cutting that "baby" quilt in half, you get two jobs taken care of and get to keep the borders! Clever Anja! I thought of that at the Sew In but didn't think to mention it! :)
ReplyDeleteCongrats on the 5K!!! Doesn't matter if you are a walker, a runner, or a walker pretending to be a runner. You are lapping everyone on the couch!
ReplyDeleteOh, and nice quilt too...
