I was late arriving at my social sewing group today, despite my best efforts! I was so busy this morning, cutting more 9" squares of cream fabric, turning a tiny hem on each side and pressing them, that I forgot how time was ticking on, so lunch was late and so was I! My DH kindly acted as taxi driver and so I arrived some ten minutes late, late enough for my absence to be put down to me enjoying another holiday!
The squares are for my cathedral window patchwork, which is proving to be a challenge. No matter how careful I am when cutting out, and pressing the hems, the squares turn out to be not quite square, they refuse to tesselate exactly, and generally cause a headache! Fellow members of the group sympathise with me. They did cathedral windows patchwork round about Christmas, so know exactly what problems I'm experiencing.
This was our last session before Easter, and as DH and I are going to France in May it will be some time before I attend my sewing session again.
Our new car was fitted with a tow-bar today! Now we are back to normal. Until now I feel as if I have been deprived by not having the option of going off in the caravan! We have had the car since the end of November, over four months, DH putting off calling the specialist fitter until the weather was 'suitable'! Now we just need the opportunity to try the outfit out.
