At Last
I got back to my sewing machine today, and sewed some squares together. It seems like it's been forever...

My Cutting Table
There's something strange on it at the moment.
I'm not sure what the stain is. It appeared when I was cutting squares, and seemed to come from the bottom of the ruler (or something between the ruler and the mat). Now if I could just figure out how to clean it off.

15 Minute Challenge Update
I'm not totally AWOL - just been tied up with a few things lately (including a convention that I help to run - but that's a totally different topic).
For the last week I've spent about 15 minutes on 3 separate days - cutting 2" and 3-1/2" squares, sewing some small blocks, and spending a lot of money at our LQS.
On a plus note, our elderly cat Gracie is recovering nicely from pancreatitis. As we originally thought she had a tumour - we are VERY pleased to have our demanding old kitty back to normal.
How has YOUR life been going?

Tuesday Update - 15 Minute Challenge
I started this challenge last Thursday, and this is what I've done for the last 5 days:
March 17 - cut 2" squares and sewed squares together
March 18 - pressed units and sewed together to make 4-patches
March 19 - wound 4 bobbins and sewed pieces together
March 20 - pressed units, cut squares and sewed pieces together
March 21 - pressed units, and sewed pieces together
I haven't taken any pictures of my progress, but at least there has been a little of it. Now I have to get myself a design wall to make the quilt assembly a bit easier.

15 Minutes a Day
I decided to take the 15 Minute Challenge - you can find more about it here.
I'm aiming for 15 minutes a day. Hopefully it will help me actually accomplish something. I'm assuming that things like pressing blocks, and crocheting will count. ;-)

Maple Leaf Blocks
Well, it's Wednesday, and these were on my cutting table...
They were made for a block swap for an online group of which I'm a member. Only one or two of the other swappers might read my blog, so I think it's safe to post this. ;-)
Hope you're having a lovely sewing day!
