Yesterday was the first sewing date in. the newly arranged sewing room. For the most part, the new layout worked. Ultimately, I think that we will swap the desks again so that the quilts that we are binding can rest on the table and on the ironing board.
Speaking of ironing, yesterday felt like a day of very slow progress. I have been working on a blue and scrappy half square triangle quilt for at least a week, now. Yesterday, I sat down to make some serious progress, and if felt like nothing happened. I spent an hour and a half finishing my stack of units. Then I spent THREE HOURS cutting them apart and ironing them. That part seemed to go on forever....
Finally, when I was ready to sit down and piece the nine patch blocks, a series of thunder storms rolled through. Today, however, I am set up to sit down and finish this quilt, which may or may not be king sized.....we'll see how big it is when it's done....
