Is it a card? No, but that is what I’m supposed to be doing.

Is it a daily block? No, but I may still get back to that.

Is it a mask? No, although I was disappointed this morning when I went to my fabric stash and didn’t find any good Hallowe’en-themed fabric.

What is it?

It’s a bandana for George (Christy’s dog). This is a trial bandana to check the size. George is a big dog so before I make any extras I want to be sure the pattern is right. It was easier to make than I expected; I downloaded the pattern, printed it on four sheets of paper, taped the pages together, and then cut out the pieces. The actual sewing went quite quickly.

I spent some extra time sewing last night. I decided I needed a break from the mystery quilt so I made the daily block.

This afternoon I managed to get a card done (I still need a few more for September). I have all the patterns picked out though so that it a start. If I head over to Texada next week I’ll want them all ready for the mail.

After the card was finished I moved on to my daily block. This was a tough one – a lot of pieces and challenging as to how to stitch all the pieces together so they could eventually be joined. I had to reverse stitch a few times before I was finished.
