A Half and a Three Quarter Circle

I have the final two blocks half done and three quarters done. I am at the stage of cutting and ironing more pieces - which is the bit I don't enjoy. However, without doing those bits I can't get to the bit I do enjoy - the hand sewing.



The half done strip has sat on the arm of the couch all week. Some days I come home and it's all screwed up on the floor. I wonder who is to blame for that? She does look a bit grumpy in this picture.


Meanwhile, five days left this term ... this half year. I have no idea where the school year has gone. In some ways it feels like we have just started the year.

I am off to present at a conference in the hols. The bonus is that it's in the seaside city of Carlsbad in California. The temperatures have been looking a bit average at only 19 degrees C, but I see it should be in the mid 20s by next week. No point going to California if it's not going to be warm and sunny! The only sewing related activity might be a visit to Fabricworm as we tiki-tour south from San Francisco.

  7. Those curved pieces look so much like hard work but the results are terrific! Did you design the pattern yourself? I could do with a pattern like that for hand sewing during my holiday.
