{Post #783} AM and PM


This AM I did this...


Yes--that's a rotary cutter cut.  Your initial reaction to the picture, plus a drip, drip, and a throb, throb, and, yeah...that was the first thing I did today.  I wasn't even USING the cutter when I got cut.  I was cleaning up my cutting table.  I don't remember what I reached for because my consuming thought for the next 15 minutes was, "WOW, does that HURT!".  The day got better though.

This afternoon I made this...


My Past and Present blocks are finished.  Each block finishes at 6", so this is 48" x 60" so far.  I will add an inner and outer one-fabric border.  Probably will work on it some tomorrow. 

You should SEE the pile of little broken dishes blocks I have accumulated!  I will be making a couple table runners and wall hangings from those.  For now I will take these off the design wall to web.  I'm going to play with a layout for the wall hanging, so there might be yet another post tonight.

Daughter #1's "suitor" is coming over for supper, so I think the rest of my night is pretty much gone.

Thanks for giving up your evening of sewing to spend time with us! We had a really good time, and I'm glad you stayed upstairs and spent some time with us. :D Love you!
