Easy day

I have had an easy day finishing some tasks and tidying up in preparation for a trip to England next week. The window quilts I made last month are now completed with the extra material sewn down each side. I was unhappy with the fit of the quilts so decided to add the extra strips. I had to sew some on by hand and others I was able to use the sewing machine. Now the machine is packed away in its box as are all the htreads and needles.

I have the weaving to finish and did around 12 inches today. I am not too worried about getting perfect selvedges as I will be crocheting an edging once I have made the poncho, so I can weave alittle faster and in a more relaxed way. The silk warp is still sticking in places. The heddle reed separates the threads as I beat gently for a loose weave.

I had already prepared the evening meal yesyerday so just put the pan on the wood stove to heat up. Now I am going to have some pumpkin cheesecake and ice-cream for a late snack. Perhaps I'll put some hot toffee sauce on it too. Hmm. Sounds good to me!
