Party for one......

So this is the first year the Chookshed party has been cancelled due to rain...........we've had some very wet parties...........flooded creek a few times.........BUT the roads were better............with all the rain we've had the last year or two the dirt road I have is terrible........especially since November last year..........

Then with rain forecast earlier this week we cancelled the girls travelling........

yesterday I thought we had made the wrong choice...........but this morning it started to rain.........so right decision........... :(

I spent most of the day in the Chookshed......its pretty cold out there.......I had my little heater on and off but it's just not big enough on days like today.......add another layer and a scarf all good........even carting my ugg boots out there this week......usually I have some other slippers but they were not going to be warm enough for my feet.............

I've had a big reorganise in the Chookshed over the last few weeks...........I did some more of that today and what was left got sat on the back bench and I will look at it another day..........I wanted to sew.........

So I cut 3 new bindings......stuffed up two...........one was cut on the full length so a little harder to judge and the other was smaller and I buggered both up by a length each..........should have measured first..........

Also cut some grey background for the Double Churn Dash blocks and started the 1/2sq triangles for 2 blocks.........

This was a very big one...........I've cut the extra piece now but not got it added on yet..............

I was only going to cut the bindings and have them ready to attached tomorrow but I was listening to TGIF - Thank God It's Friday on the ABC radio it's always a funny session to end the week.........before TGIF ended the rain started and it was heavyish.........sounded loud enough on the roof anyway............

Still stuck in the Chookshed as I didn't want to get soaked I started attaching the bindings.............

this stupid little quilt was nearly the death of me.........

first I was short a length.........then I went to do the final join and I buggered up the cut on one end and then had to add some more fabric back in..............then I joined it but it had a twist in it............4th time lucky I got it joined and attached for hand stitching now............so one finished........

Anyway 1.5hrs later the rain stopped enough for me to head inside..........

now we have had that much rain I am sure Jules from up the road won't get here tomorrow either.........

so if your sewing tell me what your sewing tomorrow.............

I have a few quilts on the go that need some work so i'll be playing with them........maybe flit around like a butterfly and do a bit here and there..........

Keep the love of bloggin' alive......

Catch you later.........
