Today I've been working on my Mr Men sampler, trying to finish Number 1 to keep up with the programme. Here it is so far. One number a week should enable me to finish it in time for my nephew's 4th birthday. I had a lazy afternoon watching - or more like listening to - television and really worked hard.

Mr Men (18)
I didn't do much of anything except resting yesterday. I did manage to sew a few 'cut-off-corner' blocks for the quilt I am making to use up some of my left-over 4patch blocks. They are really scrappy except for a cream stripe which will run through it in a zig-zag pattern. Before cutting off the corners I 'did a Bonnie' and did a second row of stitching, and have ended up with a whole bunch of the tiniest little half square triangles - they are about 1" square and will probably end up in a wall hanging. Somebody's blog, or email, (sorry, can't remember who so can't say thanks) pointed me to Pat Speth's website where she has some free patterns for waste tria
ngles, so I will have a go at one of those.

I've made lots of minis out of those little cutoff HST.
Thanks for visiting my blog and isn't retirement great? My DH was a teacher and certainly enjoyed being retired.
Amanda----I'll let you be envious of my "non-furnished" quilting space if I can be envious of your retirement.
I am also a teacher (7-12 Math / Computers); most of my time is spent with Junior High students.
Thanks for leaving the comment on my page
and I must say---I LOVE the Birthday Quilt from your previous post! What great colors!!!
Happy quilting---
