To do:

  1. cotton candy bingo - due 30th June

  2. not prime time - due 3rd July

  3. fic war: Steve/Maria

  4. fic war: Mako/Raleigh

  5. Marvel Bang: Maria backstory? Or Maria & Bucky?


I finally watched 1.21 of Agents of SHIELD. I have some definite thoughts on why the women are so fast to write Ward off while Fitz holds onto hope as long as possible, but I think I might save that for fic.

1.22 to come tonight (perhaps) while sewing.

Speaking of sewing: I did a whole LOT of sewing on the weekend!

Firstly, I got a whole heap of sewing done for my quilt show quil:

Red Letter Day #redletteraustralia


And then there was a class with an American quilter at one of our local quilt shops, and I and three other women from our local guild registered.

Basically, we had a pattern, and we made the blocks of the pattern. But since most of us were fairly experienced quilters, we only needed a couple of hints, tips, and tricks to get things going - and the competition was on to see how many blocks we could make, as a group, and individually!

I managed seven. Someone else apparently managed eight. (Yes, I am competitive. What makes you ask?)

Red Letter Day #redletteraustralia


Altogether, I believe we managed 54 blocks.

I was so tired by Sunday night that I was drowsing on my bed by 9pm and went to bed around 10. The alarm woke me at 7, otherwise who knew what time I'd have woken up this morning!

Who was the teacher? Those are pretty blocks!

I have no idea where you are in relation to Gloria Loughman, but I took a class with her last and it was fabulous. Can't recommend her highly enough.

Ah, I'm not so much into the Modern quilting, per se. We just had a Modern quilter talk to our guild recently, but I can't remember her name.

Anyhow, yay for Big Name quilter visiting and teaching. Sounds like you guys had a lot of fun, which is the important part anyway.

I'm glad I'm not the only one behind watching SHIELD. (I think I have 5 or 6 episodes to go)


I did not know you were into quilting! Competitive quilting at that - LOL
