I'm just about ready to assemble my bed runner, I had to print off a couple of pieces for the last block.  I love Inklingo and find that even on a low vision day I can hand piece using my bright light with a magnifying glass floor lamp.  I can see the sewing lines that are printed on the fabric.  Life is good as long as I can stitch.  I'm off now to vacuum the mud room, back hall and kitchen then get the floors scrubbed.  The good thing about low vision, if I don't see it it doesn't exist.  LOL

I've hand pieced the little arch blocks, they measure 3 1/2" and I assembled them into this 12 1/2" block.  This may be the block that pushes me over the edge. When I've got all the blocks done there will be too many for a table runner, not enough for a lap quilt so we'll see it it's the right size for a small table topper.

Drunkard's Path blocks.

Omg I started laying out all the little drunkard's path 3" blocks I've been hand piecing all summer and I think this block is going to push me over the edge.  I've chosen a rather complicated setting for the pieces but I like the look of the block.  I'm going to put the blocks together one at a time.  I don't know how many 3" blocks I'm going to need so printed out more pieces to be stitched together.  I'm doing all the arch's by hand then going to sew the blocks together by machine.  Kind of a hybrid block.

A glorious Sunday

Who's not enjoying this beautiful, sunny day?  Too bad we had to have such a nasty storm to cool things off.  George brought in a couple of zucchini that seemed to grow over night.  Will have to do something with them for dinner today.  No tomatoes, have to send him back out to the garden. 

Back to cleaning up the sewing room and getting some UFOs ready to work on.  Only have 1 quilt that has a dead line right now and I want to get it done for Christmas, lets see how long I procrastinate before I start working on it again.  LOL

These are just a few of my ufos, three tops from round robins that need backings, bindings and quilting, blocks from  swaps, block of the month and challenges, all to be made into tops that will then need backings, bindings and quilting.  Do I need help, you darn right!!!!

I'll be darned if I'm going to count it all and no fair peeking at the kits I've got stashed away and well hidden......
