A day of Sewing.

It was one of those days on Saturday.
Did I think about the washing that has piled up over the week?....No.
Did I think about the house being cleaned?  .... Um...No.
Did I think that I really should have an Erin day and do what I wanted to do?....You bet!

Usually on a Saturday, I get up, turn the lap top on, make a cup of tea and sit down and read some  many blogs and then by late lunch time I may switch on my sewing machine.

But this Saturday was different.  I got up quite early, (well early for me on a Saturday) and started on my Kitchen Window Quilt top and by lunch time this was the only thing hanging from pegs.....



A little bit more sewing and by early afternoon the quilt top was put on some hangers for a photo.



Now you may notice that not all blocks are in order.  I didn't want all the landscape blocks to orderly so some are and upside down and turned around  and again with the vertical blocks.  
I like a bit of disorder in my life. (not too much, just a little.) 
I was also going to use a lighter shade of grey for the sashing but am very happy with the white.  
You just can't go wrong with white can you!

A cup of tea was in need after these photos were taken but before long my itching to do some more stitching took over and by the evening, my last Swoon block was finished off.



Oh dear, now to make the decision on which block goes where?

Nothing else to show for this weekend.
By Sunday I could no longer ignore that the house needed to be cleaned and my uniform to be washed for Monday morning.

Mmm, Back to reality!
