As I was supposed to be taking Daniel to an art workshop, I knew that there wouldn't be much time for sewing, but with an hour to spare before leaving, I thought I'd see how far I got with binding the mats.
The small cats mat got done first, and I still had time.Next came the mug rug/pot stand and it was time to get ready to leave. Just as I got my shoes, there was a text on my phone to say the workshop had been cancelled. What was I going to do now?
After about five minutes to collect my thoughts, I was back in the kitchen, put on a saucepan of sweet potato and chili soup to cook and the larger of the cat mats was on the sewing machine to be bound.
By the time I'd done this the soup was cooked, so off went the gas, and the table topper was next to be bound.
This has now gone to be washed. The pencil lines I'd drawn for quilting(which I didn't use) need to be washed out, and the cats hairs need to be removed. This one is not for them, no matter what they think.
By the end of the morning I didn't think I was going to have, the cats had two new place mats, all my waiting mats had been bound, and I had a large saucepan of soup!
