National Quilting Day

Did you get a chance to quilt/sew today? I hope so!
I did .
It was a good sewing day for me as I was able to get all my snowball Halloween
blocks , all 36 of them, sewn into rows and then the rows sewn together. Last night I laid them all out the way I wanted to put them together and took a photo with my digital camera of that plan so I would remember, well the fact is I would not remember that's why the photo.:>) It helped but still I made a few changes in the design. It's a good idea to photograph what you want to do , makes it all easier.
When I got that part done it looked good. So tomorrow I will add a small black border all way round and then a piano key border to finish it off . In the end this little quilt will be 48 inches square so it will be a wall hanging.
I think my sewing day was quite successful. And I hope yours was too.
We went for groceries this morning , the bill was $114 . Lately our bills have been $50 to $75 but this week we bought items we rarely purchase and it was all junk food. Now I know how much junk food really costs. We do not know what got into us. Oh Well it will last quite a while as we don't eat much of that kind of non food.
If you really want to cut down on your food bills just eliminate the junk food and it will be healthier too.
Take care!
