Pyjama Party Sunday

Another Sunday and another day in pyjamas, yay. Although technically for me it was yesterday (Saturday), not today, I don't think I'll be able to spend much time having an arty party in my pj's today.

I didn't achieve very much yesterday. I did however manage to spend an awful lot of time on the internet. I could put it down to research and development, but really I was not in the mood to tackle too much and when I did I stuffed it up! So it's not all roses here at Chez Sunshine (pun intended).

This is what happened yesterday.
I worked on the french roses blocks, sewing them together and adding the binding. When I had two rows sewn I thought it would be good to sew them together to see how it was coming along.  I took ages to match all the binding up and making sure that the batting was in the right place to sew the seam. The only problem, the back should look like this.

Not like the first photo, grrrr. I was going to unpick it last night, but I didn't, instead I fast forwarded to the good bits of the Royal Wedding.

I'm extremely proficient in unpicking, I wonder whether that could ever be an Olympic sport, I would do very well, I think. I just wish I was as good at sewing it together.

A couple of quick and not very pretty photos of the binding on the front and the very nice seam in the middle that has to be unpicked.

In other news, I was surfing the net this morning and found something truly inspiring to give as a get well gift.
One of us has been injured, and although it does sound very nasty, I was a tad disappointed that it wasn't a craft related injury. I do hope all is well with your pinky Shay. In the meantime I thought I would order this and whip it up quickly for you. I just know it would be well received.

This lovely mini quilt over at Purl Bee.
