Day 5 at my living room retreat

It's the start of day 5 and it looks pretty ordinary outside with grey skies and clouds so I'm glad to be indoors keeping warm.  My family is in Paris at the moment and I hear it's very hot over there!

Debbie made these blocks of colour and they came with white strips of fabric.

There's also a tube of neatly organised colour strips.

I added sashing.

Ta da!  It's finished!  I used some of those coloured strips to make binding.  I don't know what I'll make with the rest yet.

I take hand sewing to the social sewing group on Tuesdays and I've been working on Debbie's hexies.  I checked with her family and they're very happy for me to make stillborn baby quilts out of them to be donated so I've started putting them onto background squares.  They'll get quilted once I've any spare backing on any of the quilts I quilt or there are so many of them I could put them all onto their own backing.  But I don't get a lot done on Tuesdays so I suspect I'll be sewing these for quite some time.

Today I'll be working on my foster girl's cushion.  She's been very patient!  This is definitely a sewing session in front of the TV kind of day.
