Yesterday I was finally home long enough to spend quality time - and quantity - in my sewing room. And I got a few things accomplished in there, plus catching up with laundry and baking some brownies for Saturday's quilt guild meeting. I plan to bake another pan of different bars today to add to those guild treats.
One thing I worked on had less than satisfactory results. I quilted and bound the first Christmas runner in the Swirling Star pattern. The outside edge is very wavy - positively ruffled. Somehow I managed to stretch it out of shape with the quilting. That means I'll need to really pay attention when I work on the second one of these. I'm hoping that maybe I can do some pressing and starching on this one to make it lay more flat.
The October blocks for the Marigold Mystery were posted early in the morning as Oct 1 also happened to be the first Thursday of the month. This month we're making 3 different small blocks - Shoo Fly, Uneven 9-Patch, and Square-in-a-Square. I have the Shoo Fly blocks all finished. We'll be making 5 of each.
The parts for all 5 Uneven 9-Patch are cut and waiting next to my sewing machine this morning. They will be the first thing I work on today.
And the parts for the Square-in-a-Square blocks are also ready to go. Keeping up with the Marigold Mystery so far has been pretty easy.
