Backing squares

Only a little sewing time today - most of the day was taken up with running errands and taking Olivia and Alex to the Museum of London to look at their display on the Great Fire of London. And what I did was dutiful, though not very interesting - I trimmed the table runners I did yesterday, and then pieced together ten inch squares of miscellaneous Christmas fabrics to use as backing fabric for the runners. I think it will look nice, actually. Tomorrow, I am hoping to have a dyeing day - it's my birthday, so I should be able to do a lot of dyeing, even if it is a weekend, which means the kids will be around. Olivia can help a bit, and Geoff can perhaps take Alex away to the playground during the messiest bits. Watch this space :)
