Cam took the kids to Melbourne to see the football and I got an entire day to sew! Yay! I worked on Christie’s quilt and enjoyed it so much. It would be nice to be able to do this more often,… but I need to be patient! Before I know it the kids will be grown up and I’ll be wishing I didn’t have as many quiet days at home! But in the meantime, this is what I got up to.

I cut the white background squares for the flowers. I had already finished the petals up to this stage:

I had one flower assembled and blanket stitched:

Found some yellow thread for the center and then I had one done:

And eight more to go:

Wanna see the back of the applique?

I was finally on a roll! I cut the sashing and this is how it looks right now:

Sorry the colors aren’t great, but it is bed time. Do you think I could skip school tomorrow and keep sewing?! Ah, it was a good day! Cam and the kids had a great day too - their team won!
