March's weather is, well, changeable to say the least. Bright sunshine, pouring rain, sleet and hail, strong winds, fog and then more sunshine. It keeps us on our toes, if nothing else.
We had a trial run with the packing this week and were surprised to find we're not going to need all the luggage we anticipated; clearly we know how to pack lightly ;) It was certainly a worthwhile exercise (even though we don't leave just yet) and a few duplicates and omissions became apparent. Not completely 'back to the drawing board' but just a couple of tweaks needed.
I'm putting together a hand-sewing project to pass the long hours of travelling, some English paper-piecing patchwork that will be easily transportable and not take up too much space. Hopefully I shall come home with a finished wall-hanging.
I'm trying to get a few pieces of fabric from the stash washed each day - a little and often makes the enormity of the task a little more manageable. And as I see all those fat quarters hanging out to dry, I'm beginning to see colour combinations and ideas for quilt blocks. I will make headway with the stash!
