All By Myself...and Still Stripping

I don't know what happens to me the minute my husband goes away on business. Yes, I have the house to myself and all order falls by the wayside. I like to blame other family members for these sorts of messes....but it's just me....ALL BY MYSELF. Besides hours on the computer, reading novels and eating whenever and to quote one of my kids from way back when "Why make a bed?".....I am still stripping...pity that, being by myself and all.

As you can see not everything has fallen by the wayside.....hmm, better go shower, my hair is still standing on end, from two or was it three days ago. 

It Was Meant to Be

After spending a lovely day of sewing and visiting, fellow Blockhead and I headed for dinner. Can we help it, that our local quilt shop, is just a hop, skip and a jump away? Just a little browse, what harm could it do.....after all I was almost out of basting spray. Well, you know what happened....a whole shelf of those beautiful Kaffe Fassett stripes, I mean a whole shelf, aren't they just lovely with the project I'm working on. That very morning I was longing for some turquoise type stripes......I rest my case...it was meant to be. Oh, by the way, in all my excitement, I forgot to purchase the basting spray, that I came for, in the first place.  So guess where I was this morning???? Did I buy more fabric....well maybe just a little.  Just so you know, I did remember to buy the basting spray.

See those turquoise stripes....yep, some late night, or should I say early morning sewing with my new fabric. I just couldn't wait.

P.S. Fellow Blockhead bought fabric too!!

QAYG Strips on Circles 2011

I had a bunch of circles made and thought I would pull them out to play. Since I  left my Strips on Stripes project in Victoria, I was still wanting to work on this concept, with the addition of circles. I played around a little and this is the result.

 



I'll see where this takes me.
