Journal Quilt Project - Week 17

Once again, I found myself doing my journal quilt on a Saturday morning - that's not really a problem, as Saturday is still within my JQ week, just probably best not to be a recurring trend (ok, I know, all trends recur by definition, but you know what I mean!). Anyway, this week I knew what I wanted to do - something which reflected the Spring Fling Round Robin work I did yesterday - hence, more cuurved flying geese. This time, with a blue background, as I used all the purple on yesterday's work. Then I quilted in parallel (more or less) lines with various stitches in orange variegated thread. The back, which is paper, is a paper with butterflies on it, which I chose in honour of the centre of the SFRR centre, which was a butterfly.

Once that was done, I decided I had time to do my next block for my swap of Dear Jane blocks with Cathi - I knew this one wouldn't take long, but I am still one behind, so I wanted a quick one. Also, I wanted to have this done in time to send it to Cathi with a birthday card as her birthday is coming up very soon (25th of March - go wish her happy birthday on her blog!) . I did actually give her an early birthday present when she was here visiting, but I'll send a card in the post anyway, so she gets it nearer the day.

I decided not to do any sewing this afternoon, but instead to sit down (after we went to a local jumble sale) and (ready for this?) read a book. Amazingly enough, I managed to do this for two hours or so, mostly uninterrupted. That was probably helped by Alex being at a birthday party, I admit.
