a new mini

Sometimes university can be fun ... you wrack your brain discussing why Syracusarum Tyranno means Tyrann of Syracus and not Tyrann of the Syracusanians and nothing else either and along comes a:

"Weeeeeell I didn't listen to it, but I think it's wrong!"

So apart from old languages I have been actually managed to squeze in producing something new, a mini-quilt - I'm already terribly late - our theme was "diamond" well I hope you can recognize what I did.

With summer coming up and less weekends for sewing as sport takes over I will have to go through my UFOs and sort them and start finishign some of them. And I really really need to get down to order some (read: a huge lot) of batting, I'm already piecing batting to get big enough pieces for the mini qilts.

back in the game

It's almost midnight here - and I'm done with the last paper - Yeah!!! Holidays!!!! (and it's cold and rainy and gray outside)

And of course I dove head first into some sewing therapy - ignoring the dishes and the laundry and well everything really...Well may I introduce you to probably the most ugly fabric I own. I started cutting it into strips for the One Block Wonder QAL. (see the mess at the back? papers are not good for my environment)

Ohh and I'm a week behind on my Broken Herringbone QAL blocks - The Red Herring Quilt - but you see I'm planning on getting caught up soon - that are strips for guaranteed 15 blocks - maybe I get a third one out of each set that would make it strips for hmmm 23 blocks

Yep I have a little something for tin boxes ... and yes that's just a tiny part - and if you ever wondered where your cards and notes end up you send along on swaps or bees or whatevers now you know.

The loooong garden to-do list is waiting for me! ... hmm yeah there aren't really any vegetables or other things edible waiting for me. That's what the July hail did to the stuff - poor blue cabbage ... (or are the English part of the strange group that say it's red?)
