I decided to trim my Irish chain edges in the cream. I couldn't bear to waste all that fabric but I do want to make the version where I trim in the colours so I'll keep that in mind for another project (one day!) and design it with little waste.
So, I've had to square up a lot of my nine patches but not all of them are big enough to trim. Oops! I think I'm going to have to invest in a better fabric cutting system now that my hands aren't coping as well with the cutting. I haven't sewn many more of the blocks together but there's no rush ;-)
I have been cross stitching though! This is page 1, 2 and 3 of the greyhound finished. I celebrated finishing half the picture! Then I looked at pages 4, 5 and 6 and there's a lot more crosses on those pages! No!!!
But I'm plodding on...
Speaking of greyhounds, this little angel was 10 yesterday. She wasn't always an angel mind you.
And she did get carried away with her birthday celebrations!
I've been sewing. Hems! Grrrrrrrrrr!
