I had a few errands to do today so I went out early; I was at the grocery store during their “special” time for seniors and the immune-compromise. The other two stops were to drop the masks in the mail (in the drive-through letter box) and to put a Hall deposit through the night deposit slot at the bank.

I cut out the hexagons and fabric I need for the next step of my Curved Hex-Along. It is a fun sew-along and we only need to do six pieces each week so easy enough to keep up with. Better yet it is hand stitched so I have evening work to do while I watch TV.

And speaking of TV, Elizabeth got me started watching Modern Family. I’ve seen episodes here and there when we were travelling but I’ve never seen more than a couple of episodes in a row. I think there are ten seasons on Netflix and I intend to watch them all; I’ve watched half a dozen episodes so far and I’ve burst out laughing at some point in all of them.

Next up in the sewing room was to put another sew-along quilt top together. I had to cut one small centre block and then all the blocks were done. Sewing them all together was the plan and then I’d add the border tomorrow.

I’ve just finished sewing all the blocks and rows together and now I’m going to start taking three of them apart! I don’t know how I managed to do it but I sewed one of the centre sections the wrong way around. I guess the good news is that now there is lots of hand work to do tonight!
