It would not suprise me in the least if I downloaded my mail someday and learned that my blogging licence had been revoked. Much has been happening, but I've either been remiss in photographing details, or things just don't seem blogworthy. But here goes anyway:
The week before last I was playing doorbell tag with our friendly Fedex driver. He'd either ring the bell while I wasn't home or I'd wait most of the day for him. Finally we caught up, and my Montmellick quilt came home from France:
She's living happily with other quilts on the new rack until I decide what other outings she can go on this year :-)
I've also been spending a little time sewing. For baffling reasons I felt I needed to sew a bazillion one inch finished half square triangles. I think I'm about one third the way through that bazillion, and I'm pretty much worn out ...
But I'll keep going, because they're just so darn cute. Wow, doesn't that close up photo show a million tiny flaws? We'll just pretend all my points are perfect and I'll be happy :-) And just FYI those green bits are half inch finished strips with mitred corners, they took some doing!!
I'm also slowly collecting fabric for a worshop I'm attending next week with the wonderful Di Ford-Hall. I've got a few bits and pieces together:
My goodness, the workshop is next weekend!! I really need to ramp up the pace on the collecting of requirements and doo-dads. I am really hoping I'll have most of what I need in my stash ... and I'm not sure about the background just yet. But honestly, I've been joking with some of my friends that you can see my stash from space ... there must be something suitable in there ...
Well, that's about all I have to share for now ... I need to get busy in the sewing room. Sadly not continuing on my HST journey, but rather making up a William Wallace costume for Camo's history assignment ... how on earth do I get roped into these things???

Is the picture of a vase of flowers what you will be doing in the Di Ford workshop?
have fun with your workshop with Di Ford, how exciting! I have one of her books but haven't made anything from it at the moment bet you are glad to have your quilt home from France but what an honor that it was there.
Glad your quilt arrived safely home. There's always a little anxiety until they do. Wow! A class with Di. Should be awesome. You'll have to shared your experience. Have fun! With all of our stashes, space must be a very colorful place.
License revoked - too funny! I think the only hard thing about blogging is remembering to take photos along the way. You do very well to keep up with all you do. I know I'll be better once retirement comes - ha! Have fun with all your half square triangles. And I am so envious of your upcoming workshop with Di. Have fun!
What a gorgeous block! You are a quilter after my own heart. :) I really love tiny work. The mitered band squares - those must be hand sewn? Such a fun post with the view of your beautiful quilts on the new rack.
