Piece Work

This week has been a whirlwind of home improvement work (prepping, supervising, cleaning up), so I have left knitting alone. I think there might have been two 24-hour periods this week where no yarn was worked. Ack!



I did manage to work up my block for Second Saturday at Quilter's Corner's (in Sycamore Square in Midlothian, Virginia). They are having a block-a-month activity where you get the next month's block fabric and pattern for free on the second Saturday of each month - but only if you completed the previous month's block. There was a slight sign up cost, but all the fabric, patterns, and Thangles are included. I wanted to do a little quilting on a regular basis, but without increasing the stuff in my house and this looked like fun. This block took about an hour to complete. I signed up for the "Bright" color group and I get a chuckle every month when I get my packet with my name and the word "Bright" underneath it.



My mom would be proud. Good thing that I didn't sign up for the "Dull" color group!

The block is photographed on the new bathroom floor. That's my other piece work project. Floor: check. Vanity: check. Sink: No go! I was hoping for a finished shot soon, but the plumber had issues today, including releasing a geyser of hot water all over the bathroom. Now there is a fun leak downstairs over my head as I type. I don't know if our bathroom will ever get pieced back together.



I think I'm going to go find my knitting!
