I had written it off completely, as I had a meeting this morning with the exhibition committee, and this afternoon we were supposed to have a visit from the Makower rep, and our telecom provider finally promised to send an engineer over sometime in the afternoon to fix the problems we've been having with our DSL connection since Christmas (I'm sure it was a coincidence that we'd sent the letter cancelling our contract the day before...) Anyway, Birgit called this morning to say that the rep had had to postpone her visit, and that the provider had sent a text message to say that the problem had been resolved without a visit. So I got the afternoon to sew!
Since tomorrow is group meeting, and I still haven't submitted any prizes for the tombola, I needed to sew something for that. Last week we had a group sewing evening to make these table mats:
Annie had been given a whole bunch of the yellow striped fabric, we just had to provide our own fabric for the tulip, piping and backing. It's a really easy little pattern, and now that I've nearly finished one, prettier than I originally thought. Now I just need an idea what to do with the rest of the yellow stripe - maybe a pair of pot holders?
The fabric in the box at the back of the picture is DH's birthday present, which will hopefully be looking more like a rag quilt by Sunday (only a week late!)
