threes!!!

They say bad things come in threes - well just as I was heading out the door to quilt group today the arm fell off my favourite pair of multi focal glasses - poop - then a someone did something to really irritate me but I had better not mention it in open forum (not that they even know I have a blog but you never know....) and then I broke a tooth!!!    Not my day.  Ho hum.  But at least I had Quilt Group today and that was fun - as always.  We spent a lot of time goo-ing and gaa-ing over a members baby grandson.  Nothing turns my quilt to jelly like a baby!    And then we spent a lot of time catching up with a long time member who now lives in Chicago and arrived home on the 8am flight this morning for a three week visit.  She joined us within hours of her arrival!  What better way to ward off jet lag than a good quilt group get together!

As far as sewing is concerned today I decided that it was time for something totally unnecessary and so I started a Christmas Star Mug Rug as featured in the Fat Quarterly ezine's Holiday issue.

I have decided that I do not like the blue triangle tips with the centre piece so I think tomorrow I will unpick the outer triangles and swap them out with something else  - not exactly sure what but this morning I realised just how much Christmas fabric I have - way too much - so I am sure I will find something that I think goes with the centre better and I know I can find something that goes better with the blue tips.  Two mug mats instead of one is not a bad thing and I loved these star mats the minute I saw them.

Must be my bed time,

Sweet dreams
