where to go

London Stairs is the name of this block. Why London, who knows? But stairs I get. It is just rectangles so not too hard to cut. My friend Betty would call this cut her 2 by 4s.

It starts out as a square in a square and branches out from there. It is very cheerful though and would brighten up a room.
Where to go we asked each other this morning. So we opted to go across the river to Surrey and then to IHOP for potato soup and  a waffle. I had the soup which I really enjoy, potato and bacon soup, very delicious. Ray had the strawberry waffle. I had a bite of his and ti too was very good.
Then we wet over to Tom's where Tom was inventorying his new Christmas fabrics. He had some wonderful train fabrics. I did not buy any fabric because I am not doing anything right now. I did buy a replacement for my thread snips because I broke the other pair and I  like these snips. Also two packages of needles, one gold coloured  because I like them and the other needles were Topstitch. It has been so long since I bought anything that I didn't even check the needle size. Oh well I'll check them out later when I empty the bag.

I have noticed lately that there is a rising interest in hexagons or hexies as they are referred to nowadays.  I wonder if it is because they are handy to carry around and easy to stitch on the run so to speak. This pillow is really pretty with hexagons is a variety of colours, very scrappy.

"By the way Anon I do have a charger but seem to let it run down before I charge it. I have to hook it up to my laptop to get it charged. "

I really wanted a White Spot hamburger tonight but Ray did not want to go out so I'll see if I can suck him in tomorrow at lunch seeing as we'll be right next to the White Spot.

My friend Betty Lu loves cherries and she would sure love this one. I love it too. The leaves look like 3D and perhaps they are LOL. See how the block squares have a corresponding red that agrees with the red cherries.

Nah I never said that.... LOL. But you do look comfortable.

John Lennon liked working on his Pfaff.  Isn't this a priceless photo.I wonder what he is sewing.


 It looks as if I have gotten to the end folks. Have a great evening.
