Last night we thought that baby Kalico was coming (again).
You'd think seeing as we've done this twice already that we'd know better by now LOL,
but we got it wrong and so we had a dreadful night and hardly slept a wink.
This morning when I finally surfaced, I asked my DH
if he minded if I carved myself a way into my sewing room
to just do a bit of mindless sewing.... for me...
He didn't mind, but I had nothing really ready to just sew,
so instead I had to do some cutting first and deciding and planning...
I wanted to do something with my Leader and Ender 9 patches:
So I cut some
setting squares and triangles, but changed my mind and the quilt idea
(from Bonnie's books) twice at least!
So the 9 patches got abandoned.... for now.
In desperation to just sew. Something.
I put borders on these Corn & Beans blocks that Kate kindly gave me.
I LOVE the colours Kate used in these blocks!
(The runner looks a little yellow in the evening light...)
The runner and bedside table mat are ready to quilt now
and the binding is prepped too so hopefully I'll get another chance
to sew before baby Kalico arrives.
I also ironed the binding that I'd cut for baby Kalico's quilt,
which Kandy has very kindly offered to quilt for me.
Hopefully little Miss Kalico will not be early and I'll get both
Kate's Corn & Bean blocks quilted and Baby's quilt bound before D-Day :o)
Young Abby, approves of me being in the sewing room
and even tidying one or two things away
so that she has more surface area to spread out.
Miaow!
