Under my Needle

It has been 4 weeks since my last post. That seems like " a long time between drinks " but there hasn't been much happening. Well nothing new to "write home about ". I am slowly. Oh ever so slowly sorting the stash , re organizing the stash and cutting up bits along the way when I need a sit down.

But all that changed when I found this bundle of cotton clothes line on Monday morning. I had purchased it a while back.  Truth be told quite a while back  to make a bag. You know the fabric wrapped coil bags. I looked at it thinking well it won't "go off" and put it away in the soon to be sewing room.

Monday night happened and a dear friend came to quilting stitching the beginings of a wrapped coil bag.  That was all the prompting required and on Tuesday morning I arrived at quilting with some orphaned fabric and my rotary cutter.

After cutting bias strips and wrapping rope I was ready to start.

All set up with walking foot and zig zag set I have started a project that has deffinately reached it's use by date.

I was so happy on Monday night that I resisted the initial urge to toss the clothes line. 

The stash sorting might be taking a detour but there will be less to put away. 

Looking forward to tomorrow.  Rehab in the morning and stitching in the arvo.

Enjoy your Friday  Terry.
