Long Weekend

paper plaster tape in use

All our plans for the long weekend had to be shelved at the last minute as one by one we all got the dreaded lurgy. The upside to this was a big blank canvas for hanging about together and getting stuff done. I finally picked up a Blue silk quilt which has been waiting for some hand-stitch quilting and I got a fair amount done, it is such an easy thing to pick up and put down. There is something therapeutic about small handstitches on a big scale, meditation for the mind of a sort I suppose. I am using up some paper tape left over from our plaster board venture last year, it works a treat for marking out the straight lines for sewing.
