This morning I dropped my daughter at work and once home I settled down with a coffee by my side to finish the second piece of sashiko. The house was quiet as John was still asleep and the two dogs had also decided they needed more sleep. It is very pleasant to be stitching , sipping coffee and planning in my head. I identified the projects I want to finish as soon as possible, and made plans for projects I want to start. The time past slowly, which is unusual, the house was peaceful and quiet and I completed my stitching. Some of my stitches could have been smaller and more even but I'm happy with it.
Later I'll prep some more stitching on this piece. Next I did some reading. I'd nearly finished the book I've been reading so I decided this was a perfect time to just chill out and read. Most enjoyable.
I then went back to the trip around the world blocks. I had several blocks I needed to make. So I set about turning this pile of strips into finished blocks.
Over the afternoon I joined the 12 blocks together and by the end I had a completed top.
I read the post before this at breakfast, then popped into study so I could comment and found another post already. Everything is looking lovely, especially the sashiko. Take care & hugs.
ReplyDeleteYou had a busy day being creative, no wonder you were tired. I love my light box, although I dont use it that often. So much better than trying to trace on a window pane like I had to do in the early days of P & Q.
ReplyDeleteCongratulations on getting your lovely Trip Around the World quilt top together, Lyndsey!
ReplyDeleteThose trippy blocks look very bright and beautiful all together like that.
ReplyDeleteGood progress on the Sashiko blocks and the stitches look fine to me.
ReplyDeleteGreat use of your scraps turning them into a round the world quilt with the blocks.
Did you read any of your book?

Your Sashiko looks great! I have a kit at home I bought in our travels. You're inspiring me to get it out and stitch it.
