1ST ROW DOWN....

1ST ROW DOWN....

ABOVE:   well there it is, the first row of the 'Heart Quilt'.... I'm not sure about this QAYG technique at all.   I watched some videos on the 'net to find out how to do it... and OK, it seems easier than battling to quilt a whole quilt at the end of the process... but it just seems 'not so nice' this way?  Can't explain it really.... the finish isn't as good I think.

Anyway.... I will continue on now that I've come this far with it.

Stew went back to work today... he's got 3 days until he's off for 3 weeks.  I .  CAN'T.  WAIT.  nor can he I think!  Though we might get on his nerves after a week or two!  Or visa versa!  lol

ONWARD....

The sun is out... OMG!  It's like living in a sauna here right now.  I am pottering around in the garage right now... trying to arrange things a bit differently before settling down to sewing again.  Thank God the kids are wrapt up in their new games etc... they are not giving me any grief at all... yaaaa!

ABOVE:  well I tried the 'Quilt as you Go' again... but it just didn't look good, so I am doing it the 'conventional' way now.    Got 4 rows joined this afternoon... but am stopping now as we are going to the beach for dinner.... and maybe a swim. 

End of DaY: the beach was lovely, when the sun stayed out... it was early evening and it got cool when the clouds came over.  B & G had a long swim, Stew and I decided it was kinda COOL in the water so stayed on land!  The kids had their wetsuits so were fine.  It was really nice having dinner by the water...
Since coming home I've managed to put all the rows together on the Heart Quilt and will start to quilt it 'proper' tomorrow.  That is gunna be 'fun' I'm sure.  But do-able.  nite nite.
