Monday Mystery Solo Robin

July 6, 2020

Sorry we are a little bit later this morning. The puppy is getting into his morning cuddles, and as it is his most relaxed time and lets him practice being cuddled without nibbling. I also forgot to make bread yesterday but that is now on a proving. It odd, bread making used to seem a bit of a faff, now it is just a regular part of life. I can’t actually see us going back to using a lot of comercial bread. I will say the plastic square loaf is the best thing for a toasted cheese sandwich though. So we will alway have ocasional bread from shops. Sadly really good bread flour is now rare but middling flour still makes pretty good bread.

This morning I need to finish preparing for this afternoons class. I am really looking forward to it. I have had friends in my pocket for years, it will be nice to have my students sitting on the cutting table with me, which could only ever work virtually. There isn’t the space to do it in person.

I guess we should get on to our doom for the week Erm inspiration that’s what I meant. Don’t forget there is a Tuesday discusson group we do still have space for a couple more people. Comment below if you want to come along. Our technique this week is,

use scraps

Ooooh, that is perfect for me I want to finish off my first quilt with this week and my curves are using soome scraps. This is absolutely what I want for my outer border. Of course I would now like it to be a decent size. Border size this week will be,

add 5″ to two opposite sides of your quilt

Hmm, well OK. middling but I think I can make it work. I would have liked more though. I don’t think I can really complain that is pretty good for me. In fact whatever I got it would have needed me to use scraps, though now I suppose I have no guidance on how to use them. Ahh well mixed blessing and the group will probably have some thoughts on it.
