It's a Start

Well, as I say "it's a start". I forced myself to start sewing by giving myself permission to sew for just 10 minutes. Did the trick. I have been making crumb blocks from scraps for a little quilt for Chloe's dog bed. The photo shows the 4 blocks and I plan to put the red in the centre between them.

So, I'm on my way again. The rain helped too I think, as I find it hard to sew when it is hot and humid.

A bit short of time so this will not be much of a post, but I'm also excited to report that my Travel Bug arrived today, and I have assembled the components tonight and it's ready to start its journey to Oregon to meet Holly . The photo isn't the best as the flash is bouncing off the plastic, so tomorrow I will take a better one. Holly's Travel Bug is already on its way, having been picked up by a geocacher whose Grandmother is a quilter, so fingers crossed for them both to reach their destinations safely. When I activate it I'll put up its number so it can be watched if anyone's interested.

I see in the US that people track dollar bills by their number - what next? The site is called "Where's George?". Amazing the stuff that goes on out there that you don't have a clue about.

Have to dash, will post more when I finish Chloe's quilt (said in confident tone!)

  1. I was talking to someone about geocaching yesterday and apparently there is one in our local library. I wonder if it's disguised as a book?

  2. Happy to see you sewing again. I was going to ask you if you fancied doing some free piecing crazy red and white blocks for me to kick start you off again, but see I don't need to *vbg*.

  3. Let me know if either of the Travel bugs make it to the UK..if they are anywhere near me I'll dust off the old GPS and have a go at moving them on. TTFN

  4. Your crumb quilt looks great! Looks like you figured out what to do about the tag for the TB. I guess I should post the tracking # for mine - hadn't thought of that. You are welcome to mention it along with yours if you care to and I'll post it on my blog as well. Hope they do well :)
