Sewing: 501 Quilt Blocks Week 9
The Double T. Although it’s more like a quadruple T, but who am I to question. I could make a tiny dolls bed quilt if I stopped here. I won’t though or I’d have no blog content to post.

This is Sally (and Luke): Sally is our 7 year old corgi who has recently hurt her back right leg. The vet has basically said that there’s nothing they can do and to bring her in when she’s ready. Well, we’ve been keeping her pain medicated and we don’t want to lose her, but we …
This week is the Greek Cross. It’s the same as the Churn Dash, but the colours are kind of inverted to make it look different. I think it looks completely different. Surprising what a colour change can do, really.
I took the kids to see How To Train Your Dragon 2. I figured I’d check out the Spotlight almost next door as I was on the hunt for some specific yarn. Well, lo and behold, there’s a 40% off fabric sale. Kate found some flannelette that she really liked. I didn’t say anything, but …

My neighbour had a garage sale and I picked up these two chairs for $5 each. They weren’t red to begin with. That was my doing. I had wanted to try my hand at spray painting some bright red chairs for a while now and I figured these would be as good as any chair …
This week is brought to you by the Churn Dash. I’m slowly getting the hang of this paper piecing and I’ve realised that in order to do it successfully you need patience and a good iron.
