Well, not too much really over this past couple of weeks. I have been particularly busy at work and have had some late nights and early mornings there, and quite honestly, by the time I have come home and cooked dinner and done a few chores, I have been quite tired. If I pick up a needle I fall asleep! I have not been watching tv even. So early nights have been in order and I have been reading a bit. I have enjoyed that.
I have been doing a lot of this though...
cutting out squares for a black and white themed quilt. There are oodles of these babies, so to get to and sew them together now will be great. I do find I need to cut in the daytime, so it is often home and into this for a bit each night.
There has been a bit of collecting going on over the last year, and this is one of my favourite fabric lines, Martinique by 3 Sisters. This is the fabric that will adorn the sewing room and I have a few ideas to make some deliciousness to cover my machine, overlocker and goodness knows what else.I did make these our of Martinique..... a ort bag, and a wee tiny bag to hold the threads I will be using when needleturning a quilt I am about to start. I knew I needed 'somewhere safe' for them lol. I am loving my new sewing machine!
I have not even worked on Holly and Ivy much, but here is where I am up to on this. I do hope to work on it this week a bit while watching a bit of tv in the evenings.
Another weekend over, back to work for another week. I am looking forward to the long weekend - Waitangi Day, 6 February, our national day. I know there will be stitching involved and some gardening will be a must also.
Have a good week, thanks for popping in, and I just love the comments you leave.

Oh Kath..I'm loving your black & whites! For god's sake don't suck me back into the quilting world! Holly & the Ivy is looking good too. :)
Your quilt will be stunning ,in black and white,and I love your Holly and Ivy design. Roll on Feb 6th :)
It's been busy for me at work as well! No getting to ease into the new year for either of us it seems. I look forward to seeing your quilt come together! Lovely progress on your sampler, too.
Great to see you're getting into another quilt! Holly & Ivy is looking lovely. Martinique - now that is still one of my favourites too! Have a great week Kath :-)
I have always been going to do a black and white quilt and have got a few pieces collected. Maybe you will be my inspiration to get going.
I hope you enjoy a quieter week with time for stitching.
Oooh, glad you have the quilting bug now, Kath :)
