Flying geese

Well today I attempted to make the second block of my Christmas block of the month.  I say attempted because I messed it up!  The instructions include the dimensions of each piece but not sewing instructions. Apparently I didn't choose the correct way to sew it together, grrrrrr.  The parts that I messed up on we're the flying geese parts, all eight of them!  Good thing I purchased the oops package of extra fabric. Tomorrow I will recut and proceed!  Maybe I will blame it on my trip to VA for family time. Great trip!  If I manage to sew correctly I will post a picture. Sat is the day I take my completed block in to show the shop and receive the next one.  In the afternoon is the next day of sewing on my Hope of Hartford quilt at the same shop. It will be a fun day.

While I was in VA last week I went to a great yarn shop called Fibre Space in Alexandria.  I got some great yarn for mittens and some for a stripped scarf for my hubby Steve.  I started the mittens, they are so cute!  I have knitting on Thursday evening and can't wait to show them my new stuff!  Fingers crossed that I finish these projects before spring planting time;) Bye for now!  Michele
