There was a bit of incoming - some pieces from a friend to add to my baskets, drunkard's paths and nine patches. A good estimate of 2.5 yards.
Yesterday was an errand day and haircut, etc. I did manage to grab a couple of purses on sale. This morning I'm not overly enthused by either of them, but they'll work for now. I couldn't find the color I really wanted for summer. Will have to keep looking for that. I really don't get those designer purses. Sure, they're pretty, but not very practical for me.
Finally caught up on sleep last night. I was up very early today, but hopefully can crash early and be back on schedule by tomorrow. In the meantime, I'll be at the humming Bernina if anyone needs me!!
Year to Date:
Busted: 236.45 yards
Purchased: 298.275 yards
Net YTD: (61.825) yards busted :(

9 patches are one of my favorite blocks ever... glad you are getting some sewing time in. Have a good Sunday.
I love 9 patch quilts. I'm -still- working on a 9 patch sampler that I started hand piecing about 5 years ago. Happy sewing!
Vicky -- those are gorgeous!
Enjoy your sewing day!
Have a good day sewing! You've earned it after errand day. Those are never very fun.
just pm me the size of one square in the 9 patch and i'll figure out how many 9 patches in a yard for you. then all you'll have to do is separate the 9 patches into bunches to figure out the yardage you've busted.
Some very pretty nine patches. Glad you are finally getting to sew. Love to read your blog. Hug Penny for me.
Enjoy your sewing day!
There is just something so soothing about the mindless sewing of 9 patches or string blocks. I am off to finishing assembling a top for my soon to be new daughter in law. All the blocks done, or the columns really but I only have three long seams left to do and then I can move on to the backing. her 40th was 2 weeks ago two and I din't get this done in time! Baby Ilika got in the way (of course not really!)
Glad to hear you are caught up on sleep and hope you are having a great sewing day!
nothing better then nine patches, keep going!!!
aren't they just fun to make?
