Back in the sewing saddle again


YeeHaw! Sewing is back in my daily rhythm!
Most of last week's free time was spent deep in learning PHP programming, but this weekend I hit a wall and had to take a break. First on the list was quilting, naturally.
There were two lovely sew-ins on Thursday and Friday, both handwork only, so I worked on my hand-quilting skills using a wholecloth pillow that I keep around for exactly that purpose.
On Saturday I prepped for the next meetings, making the BOM for our raffle and gathering the little things I need to take with me.
Saturday evening I was able to start a mug rug, which I'm doing the binding on as I watch the German movie "Jerry Cotton." Very funny movie, set in the US, about a bunch of FBI agents.
A picture in closing - my current progress on Bonnie Hunter's Roll, Roll Cotton Boll.

I've been thinking of a hand project for in front of the tv or waiting times...maybe I'll do a small whole cloth quilt. Thanks for the idea.
