Home Alone

It doesn't happen very often, 
 but I was home alone this past weekend. 
 Dispute the triple digit temperatures,
 Despite Smoke in the air and the High Park fire still not under control,
June 22

 June 23

 I worked on some neglected sewing projects.
  It was a matter 
of making choices on how I would spend my time. 

Should I choose things I've already started,
or
something new?

I looked at some new books, but
decided I really needed to finish some projects instead.
 I used some of my time to machine quilt
my May PPP #5.
(The 11 Project Progress Plan)

 I had time to sew on the binding 
 simply because I had made it ahead 
and it was ready when I needed it.  
That always makes me feel productive.

I like adding ric rac to borders, especially on baby quilts.
It adds a bit of whimsy and texture.

 I love streaming some of those older TV series
. If I watch a couple MacGyver episodes,
 
  I'll have the binding sewn down and the quilt done. 
MacGyver can do anything with anything! 
There's a lesson in there somewhere. 

I never got to the project for June,
  but, hey, June is over. 
 It will just have to go back on the list.
  It's time to draw a number for July.
  Until Next Time-

  1. Sweet blocks in the quilt. Rick rack a good addition. Do you leave the rick rack points loose or stitch them down?
