Enough clams and cheese to sink the Titanic

The WIPs around this place have ground to a bit of a halt due to a little issue I mentioned in yesterday's post, but on Saturday I got to spend time with my beloved Spoolettes, and while they traced and cut and sewed clothes and bags, and cheered me up enormously, I worked on my Manhattan Clams and ate an enormous amount of chocolate and cheese and gluten free pizza.



My dream for this quilt has always been to make it really, really long, but I may run out of fabric by then. Or sanity. Also our walls are only 2.4 metres tall so that could actually be my saviour.

I've managed to do a teeny bit of HST sewing when I can sit at the machine comfortably. Unfortunately for this quilt, and my desire to see it in a finished state, the comfortable thing doesn't happen too often.



Soon my precious. Soon.

And here's a little something that isn't even really at WIP stage. I am showing the modern quilting group how to sew the Cheyenne block this week, but on the weekend my friend and I decided to sew this all together into a much bigger quilt for a friend's birthday coming up in a couple of months. So I put some more squares and HSTs on the design wall to see the effect we would get.  We both love it. Hope our friend does too!



I'm hooking linking up with Freshly Pieced for her WIP Wednesday.  Hooray!


Now I'm off to the swimming pool for some physical therapy. Hopefully when I get back I'll be up for some sewing mischief, so there might be more to show you next week.
