Thimbleberries Sew Day~ Part 3

I would label today a success, although I don't have much that is photo-worthy. ;-) I had to cut up more of the dark and light strips for the 4-patches. Then I got a bit distracted and cleaned and oiled my sewing machine. LOL It probably needed it. ;-) I sewed the strips, pressed, made the 4 patches and I have this pile to cut apart tonight while TV watching. I like to press them with the little 4 patch of open seam allowances on back, so I'll finger press them all tonight too. It doesn't look like it, but that is over 100 4-patches!

When I was cleaning my machine, I noticed my stack of sewn Trianglulations HST's waiting for trimming. So I trimmed them all up~ another thing to do tonight-- rip off the papers and finger press them. They are for the blocks I am exchanging with Bingo~Bonnie. ;-) I think there are nearly 160 or more of those little guys. :-)

So all-in-all a pretty successful day. :-) How did you do? Be sure to let me know if you sewed today so I can come by and see. :-))

Now I need to get back to the Vintage Sheet top~ ;-)
Until next time~
Happy Stitchin'!

Well you got more done than me! I spent most of what sewing time I had LOOKING for my book!!I am blaming it all on a cold I am fighting...head/ sore throat.
Yes has to be why!! Not that I am scatterbrained, yes I am! Well by then I only felt like layering up some strips to sew later.
Tomorrow I am off to the quilt show..my germs should be dead by then...;-)
Hugs,
Lola

Who knew that having a Halloween Hop last week would bring the chilly weather?! We had rain, wind--- the power even went out for a few hours...
