Wasting time

I spent the afternoon watching the August edition of the Last Homely House.

I gave myself a subscription to this show and you know it was a good investment.   I slow down and watch someone else's everyday life and switch off from my own concerns.  What have I got to be concerned about?  Well the quilting of my C.Q. 5.  It isn't square because I used left overs and off-cuts and when I have come to quilt it I then have to make more adjustments.  Those corners are not quite matching up.

I don't think it will really matter in the long run but being a perfectionist it makes me feel uncomfortable.

My Jacquie Gering books turned up today.  My phoned dinged and there was a message that they had been delivered, I opened the door and there they were.

They are the same ones I purchased for the patchwork group. (no-one else got a look in.  I borrowed them out over and over.)  Now I have my own copies.  Just to be sure that I don't get them mixed up I added book plates.

I have decided to use a variation on this design.  I had outlined the embroidered square and then I am stitching radiating lines.

It is slow work and a bit boring, so I was glad to watch someone else stitching.

I find her you tube videos very relaxing and sometimes I pick up some good ideas.
