Usually, I do not get much accomplished during the weekends. But this weekend I feel I have outdone myself. Friday, I finished the book titled "The Bishop's Man" by Linden MacIntyre. In the beginning, I didn't know how I would find the book. However, because it is a Giller Prize winner, I read on. I am so glad I did. It was quite an interesting read!
While I am waiting for some fabric to be delievered by post, I found myself wondering what to do next. I was in quite a slump! Down to my sewing room I went, looking through my stash. I found these fat eighths sampler from Connecting Threads. I wanted to try foundation piecing, and thought this may be a perfect way to use up the fat eighths with a scrappy look! So off to the cutting board I went!
This is how one of the blocks turned out. I now have three completed. I didn't anticipate what I would go through picking the paper off the back. That may be hubby's job when all the blocks are completed!
Today, I have finally completed the binding on my lap quilt. The kids titled it "I Spy" They spied the letters L & T. As well as the shapes diamond, triangle and also a tree. The tree is the pattern that is machine quilted. I used a moda jelly roll for this quilt. The borders are from my stash.
