We had Chinese food last night (left-over from Valentine’s Day) and my fortune cookie mentioned a job I’d been putting off needed to be done. I didn’t have to think about what it meant – time to do some deep cleaning. I thought I would finish my sewing early today and have time to get started but that didn’t happen so I’ll move that task to tomorrow.

I logged on with the Guild a couple of times. I was working on Guild-related blocks today – a block of the month for January and two filler blocks for my log cabin quilt. When I got the pattern for the first log cabin filler (the dogwood) I thought it was a block of the month; at the time I thought it was an odd one to pick. It wasn’t until I started making it today that I realized it was for a completely different Guild project.

We are supposed to pick one log cabin filler block of our own choice and I’m hoping to make a card trick block. I’ll have to scour the web and my pattern books to see if I can find it in the right size. The dogwood block I made today may not make it into the quilt – I’ll have to see when the sashing gets attached. If I decide it isn’t right for the quilt I’ll pick another block on my own.

My knitting is going well and I hope to be adding a second colour to it tonight. I’ve had to slow down a bit as we started watching a new show last night and it is sub-titled with no way to switch the audio to English. Resurrection:Ertugrul (think modern Vikings) is set in the 1200’s in Turkey and, from the few episodes we’ve seen, it will be as bloody as the Vikings. Those scenes make it easier to concentrate on the knitting stitches though!
