It's raining again....

and I finally got to do some stitching!

I did manage to take procrastination to a whole new level though.  You wouldn't believe how long it too me to choose fabrics for my Boys Story boat block..... hours and hours and hours!

Some pieces are still just pinned up there while I continue to cogitate.

Right now I can't make a decision to save my life.   Maybe I got so hot tending the land last week  my brain liquefied and evaporated along with the sweat on my brow.   Or perhaps I've been infected by Zombie virus.  All I want to do is sleep or think about sleep.  Heck... I even dream about sleeping! 

I did manage a little bit of this.......

I'm back to trying backstitch 'by the book' again.   Hoping it'll help me loosen up my stitches.... seems my thread tugging gets a bit too aggressive when I stab!   

I'm a deviant!!   I have to own up to deviating from the original plan with these......

Yep.... I'm surrounding all my little hexie blooms with white so's each little flower can shine in it's own right!

That's my way of saying I've changed my mind about a 'scrappy' look for my Vignette Hexie Quilt and have decided to start it again with a more co-ordinated colour palette.   Lucky me.... I'll have too hexie quilts to keep me warm in my dotage.   Assuming I'm not still sewing them when I'm old and dotty!

Now then.... remember this

 Well this is how it looked yesterday when the neighbours called round unvited to inspect my handiwork

They showed a clean pair of heels when they spotted me.... wish the same could be said about other parts of their anatomy! 

Till next time..... happy stitching
