Good Sewing Afternoon

After overcoming a migraine this morning (thank goodness for the drugs) I have had a very productive afternoon and also an exciting parcel.

I ordered the Aurifil "Basics" collection from New Threads Quilts in Andover on 30th September and my beloved picked it up from the sorting office for me today.  If I'd been home to sign for it on Saturday I would have had it then - pretty impressive service.  I've not used the company before but I will again.

This afternoon I've done the Autumn/Fall blocks for the current Global Piecers block swap.  I can't share a  picture here, not until the blocks have arrived at their destinations,  but I used fabrics that I posted a picture of when I bought them from Quiltessential at the Festival of Quilts .  I was pleased with the way the block worked out (after a couple of false starts and some frog stitching).
Tomorrow I'm going to start on a new sashiko project that you can see here.
