A frustrating week as I have been without car. My car broke down 10 days ago and bad news was cam belt gone and has caused too much damage for the car to be worth repairing. It's 1995 vintage and done high mileage. Was kind of ready for a change anyway.
So the last week has been spent online searching for a suitable car and a quick purchase..As hubby works away it's been doubly frustrating doing things in a tight time frame. Have a car we saw and liked but it's over an hour away and now trying to get an inspection done before Easter and can't get hold of the seller...arghhhh!
My mother is also due to stay for a week on tuesday as well so NEED A CAR!!!
SEWING...Have made progress on the stool cover.
I'm happy with it but next step is to sew the 2 centre seams matching the squares carefully so have decided to hand stitch it. The seams aren't long. Mother will also bring the stool inset with her, on the plane somehow! So hope I can get it all done for her to take home. That will either be laced, or stapled, the latter I think.
Need to bat and quilt it and add durable fabric to square it up to allow it to be stapled underneath.
Also in the meantime I have agreed to go back to work starting April 8th, the day mother leaves so feel I need to make best use of the time off I have. Gosh not even 2 weeks now.
Quilt club day tomorrow, then our meeting next month is a full day trip out in a mini bus doing a tour of quilt shops. My first such thing.I'll have to take the day off work..my 1st week..then no more sewing days :-( for the next few months, depending on how long work lasts.
Right now to post my 1st photo. Success!! taken with the webcam..not too bad!
The colours I've selected are from the curtain fabric material she sent me. I love them.
