Last week.....

 I seemed to have kept up with posts for most of November, so this is a short post. Most of the week has been spent with Max working on a custom quilt, and I am pleased to say I finished this yesterday. Photos will wait until I do another quilt post.

Today has been a mostly desk day, replying to emails and paying accounts and all those necessary admin jobs. This morning it was Bible Study time and we are studying Leviticus this term and there is much to learn and discuss. This afternoon I did some shopping and had a doctor appointment.

Last Saturday turned into an impromptu sewing day for a few, with girls coming and going throughout the day. Lois came with a top for me to quilt, and ended up going down a rabbit hole. She had a picture of a quilt she intended to make and some of the fabric she needed. I think she only wanted an opinion, but before she left Pat and I had helped her choose another piece to add in, calculated the measurements for her and even cut some of her pieces with the Go Cutter. Which then led to her sewing most of her half square triangle units before she left!!

Pat was working on the blocks for her President's Challenge, and Val came to help me with a quilt.

I was planning a string quilt for a special event, and Val ended up making half of the blocks I needed.

Later in the day, after everyone else had left I made the rest of the blocks in an evening stitching while 'watching' a movie.

I was thinking about how and what to use for sashing and made up this unit, but wasn't quite sure???

After sending photos for opinions I came up with option 2, and we were all much happier. The black defines the on point squares much better.

Next choice was to the border.......

...... and this was the final result.

I also have some plans to add some 'bling' of some sort, probably before the quilter gets her hands on it? So that's another decision to make sometime.

A lot of time has been spent in the back garden this week, in an effort to make up for the recent neglect. Not long ago it was tidy and weed free after some spraying and week kill, but then it kept raining, the weeds grew again and due to being busy and the weather being cold....

....this is what it looked like!!

I am spending quite a few early mornings in the garden and progress, although slow, is happening.

I can't believe that today is the last day of November!! December and the first day of Summer?? After such cold and wet, it will climb to 35deg by the weekend!  One month to go and it will be 2023.

That's about it for this post. Bet you are shocked it's so short? 

There are plans for the next few days and I shall be back soon with news of plans for 2023.
