Santa Tree Skirt--piecing begun--post 1

One and two are incorrect

Monday was an in person sew day with my "Sew Happy" group. I went with my Santa tree skirt kit that I cut last month. I started stitching the sections for the boots. 

Wouldn't you know it. . .I stitched the wrong size square to the end of the first section I stitched. Because I trimmed the excess fabric, I couldn't reclaim it. 

In the photo, the sections labeled one and two were incorrect. It was back to the studio to recut the pieces that I had sewn. . . .sigh. . .I had made little progress. 

Replacement pieces cut

That afternoon, I managed to recut most of the fabrics. Friday, I'll spend some time stitching them. I will be sure to mark the pattern as to the size of that square so I don't make that mistake again! Because I did actually sew on this project this month, I've met goal number four on my March list.

This week, as I've had free time, I've continued adding motifs around the appliquéd squares on my Temperature Quilt. I'm getting closer to finishing the quilting. I plan to work on that project today.

Tomorrow, the oldest granddaughters invited themselves to spend a day with us. it is spring break. We are looking forward to their visit. They are 11 and almost 13 years old. We will likely play with making some art in the morning with a swim session scheduled in the afternoon. 

I have had a request for chicken noodle soup for lunch which I'll serve with some sourdough rolls. I've an acupuncture appointment in the morning and while I'm away, I plan for them to bake cookies for dessert. It will be a full and fun day.
