| | Tuesday apparently. Feels like Thursday. It all got a bit busy these past few weekdays. Lots of haring about to interviews. Lots of reading up about SQL stuff that I don't know simply because my former employer's Senior DBA is a control freak who didn't let me do much. Lots of researching companies. I feel much better for sitting and doing nothing (and this despite the fact that the downstairs neighbours are having the hall painted, so the contents of my hall cupboard are on the sofa, and the hall bookcase is in the sitting room - the Great Dane Puppy brought them all in this morning before leaving for work. I was up at 7.30am, and he didn't wake me up. Really impressed). I am about to start off again, with yet another list of Stuff To Do. And, to that end: I need a suggestion for a quilted table runner and mats pattern, I have six fat quarters, some backing material, fleece blanket for padding (do you think that will work? It's left over from the small lap quilt I made and never photographed... I don't really want to buy anything else at this point). It needs to be simple, because I am not up to much more than straight lines at this point - I'll be stealing Mum's metal ruler and cutting tools as I can't see that she will use them in the meantime. I have a deadline of 15th August. I have libraries at my disposal if there's something in a book, and although I'm being a bit mean with spending until I have a job, since this is a wedding present, I am happy to stretch that point a little. Paper patterns are probably OK, but can be a pig to find in the UK. Will this work? Or is there a lap quilt or similar for six fat quarters? HELP! Or am I best off just cutting strips and piecing together? Or shall I make this? I rather like that. I can easily get two more quarters at the quilting shop down the road. I think I just solved the problem. I need to upload some photos. Clearly, life will be better if I do this. Then you can see previous quilting effort. xxx |
