The post came through the door and made the day for himself. Because we received a cheque we had been waiting for in regards to the business. I then had to hot foot it into town and deposit it into the account immediately. I don't always take instruction well but in this patricular case I was happy to.
The rest of my time was spent marking, pinning, sewing and trimming half square triangles until I had them all as required and could have a play with the layout for Hadley's Brit Bee Miss November block. She went with one large block rather than two smaller ones, crafty woman!
There was then a quick bout of chain piecing for England.
And I grabbed the last of the light for the day, one child and took a blurry photo.
Back to the post office tomorrow. I am going to be on a first name basis with them by the end of the week.

Yay - brilliant, and well modelled by the young lady - thank you both!!
ReplyDeleteThat's a stunner of a monsta' block! Well done! Jxo
ReplyDeletewow that is a big block, looks fantastic.
ReplyDeletewent to tesco today and all the half price baileys had sold out. Aaagh
Lovely block Susan :)
ReplyDeleteLove the monster block and the blurry photo - what a great model!
ReplyDeleteGreat block! May have to try one of those in a 12 inch but that would mean 2inch HSTs, which sounds small to me. Still might have to do it. We seemed to lose our light at about 10 AM - actually I don`t think we had any light all day! Helen looking much more perky!
ReplyDeleteFabulous block! It's a biggie isn't it!
ReplyDeleteIts a great block! BTW Glad you spotted the misplaced square/HST in the first photo before you stitched it together! LOL!
ReplyDeletegreat block - and i can't for the life of me spot the misplaced patch!
ReplyDeleteYour piecing on the big block is pretty fabulous. Doing something with that many points to match up would drive me spare.
ReplyDeleteCongrats on the post received (yay!). The village will be talking about your affair with the post-person . Let them talk ! I know my post office guy by first name too. He likes to guess what is in the many parcels I get and never dobs on me to Mr. P.
Wow, I've never seen one of these blocks with a sense of scale before, that is one BIG block!!! Looks cool though :o)
ReplyDeleteMmmmm, Monster block! Looks fab! Sounds like a great day!
ReplyDeleteI understand now - the photo is blurry as you have consumed all the half price Baileys in Tescos!
ReplyDeleteGreat block though and your model is an angel!
LOL at Nicky's comment!
ReplyDeleteWowser that block really is large. Might have to try it myself some time (if I can get over my dislike of trimming HSTs that is...)
The ladies at the post shop see me coming now too... they get to see such a lot of me since I'm usually either sending or receiving parcels more or less on a daily basis.
Hadley's quilt is going to be a stunner!
ReplyDeleteGorgeous! Love the pinwheel effect in the centre x
ReplyDeleteLove the colours in this block Susan!
ReplyDeleteIt's beautiful! Well done, lovely Susan!
ReplyDeleteAny of that banana bread left? mmmmm....
