I thought about my placemat last night and before I left for the bee today I pulled another fabric to use for the borders. Had I left it as it was last week the placemat would have been square (a small square) rather than a rectangle and I wasn’t happy with that. So I began my day with some reverse stitching. The placemat is ready to be quilted now – a finish-it–up- Friday project perhaps.

I cut out the sashing I need for my Blossoms quilt. I could have done it almost as easy at home but my cutting table is covered in “stuff” so having a clear table to work with was a bonus. I think I’ll have enough of my sashing fabric to use as backing – I ordered the fabric so long ago I don’t know whether I planned it that way or not.

I got one more of my Celtic Crystal blocks done. I’ve resigned myself to the fact that I can only get one block done a week. I’m okay with that as I only have two more to do so the end is in sight. Well the end is in sight for the blocks but I still have a centre and pieced borders to do.

It is hard to believe the first business meeting of the new season is on Thursday. I have a bit of Library work to do before then, as well as some quilt show paperwork to get in order. But all that will wait until my “office” day on Thursday.

My new knitting pattern worked out well last night and I got enough done to know (well at least think) the size will be right. I was able to see how the pattern works into it and I’m happy. But tonight I’ll be back to basting some pieces for I’m A Farmer’s Daughter.
