I cooked the bolognase without incident, had a tiny sip of sherry then carried on with the quarter square triangles.
They get easier as you do more of them, doncha' know?
And on that note of stating the astoundingly obvious, I've stopped for the evening - I'm off to the pub for a couple of beers.
Catch up with you all tomorrow - and thank you without measure to Lesley, the Cuddle Quilter for being a fabulous hostess (even if she did scoff all the cinnamon buns herself), and to QuiltSue for clear instructions for the brilliant Festive Mystery quilt.
You've made great progress Hazel. Have a beer for me tonight at the pub! We are headed to Snowshow Brewery for dinner and beer tonight too! I'm afraid sometimes my quilting drives me to drink!
ReplyDeleteWow - love the Snowshow brewery website and trust you had a fiiiiiiine evening. :-)
DeleteI love your parade of hourglasses! Sorry I ate all the cinnamon buns..wish I could head out with you and Lynn! Hope you both have fun in your corners of the world! And thank you for the thank you!
ReplyDeleteYou've been brill, Lesley - and I don't (much!) hold it against you for the cinnamon buns...
DeleteIsn't this just the best fun running round the world!
I haven't got around to starting Sue's mystery yet as I'm finishing up an older Christmas mystery quilt - but I'm loving what I'm seeing on everyone's posts. The 1/4 square triangle blocks are a bit of a bear to make but don't they look lovely! Hope you enjoyed your beer...
ReplyDeleteYou have loads on your plate at the mo, Janet, I can see, but I hope you get to catch up with this QAL when you have time!
DeleteYour Mystery quilt is coming along wonderfully :) Hope it was a good night at the pub! :)
ReplyDeleteSlow going, I'm afraid, Trudi, in trying to get the points to match - and yes, thank you, it was!
DeleteWell don't they just look lovely all lined up like that?
ReplyDeleteHope you enjoyed the beer?
Like pretty maids all in a row! Beer was Holden's Golden Glow - a Midlands brew just to my taste!
DeleteSo pretty. Your quarter square triangle look great.
ReplyDeleteHope you enjoyed the pub!
Thank you, Donna - and yes, the pub was good!
