I haven't touched this quilt since Thursday.
But at least the top is webbed together. Things I love about chain piecing a top this way? The chaining threads between the rows will keep all of these little seams from popping open during the assembly process. It's especially helpful since these cornerstones are so tiny.
Friday's to-do list included moving things from beneath the long arm and doing general cleaning in the studio to make ready for the machine maintenance guy to come. A snow storm across Indiana delayed that arrival, and hearing nothing through the weekend I kept checking my phone for texts or email updates.
I hung around and did the fabric stash self fixing on Saturday as well - just in case I needed to be there. But no word.
There haven't been any - so I decided to spend yesterday at home. I'll get to that in a minute.
Where I left things Thursday afternoon-
I've had many messages asking about the whole "Webbing" thing - I went to update the old post and all of the photos no longer worked. Which makes me wonder if blogger just deletes old photos after so many years?
So now on my list is another tutorial to show how the webbing works, but making it easier to start - like with a simple block instead of photos or videos of me crawling around on the floor showing the process in a big way.
That will be coming soon.

The top center, webbed in rows across.
The plan today is to start the cross seaming. Maybe I'll here from the machine guy? Maybe I won't? I have no clue what is in store for today, but while I'm waiting I may as well be working on this.
And there is another reason for some distance.
The hubs is sick!
It started with his not feeling well on Saturday evening. Sunday morning (Was that really only yesterday?) I made a Walmart run for all of the "get well quick" things.
He stayed in bed most of yesterday, and I stayed home to quietly sew here just to be on hand, and at the same time trying to not get sick myself.
And yes, there is always hand quilting.
I've reached the LASY fill in corner. With less than 2 weeks to go until New Year's Day - I don't think I'll make it but it will definitely be finished early on in 2023.
Suffice it to say that I'm okay with not seeing hexie anything for quite a while.

Quiltville Quote of the Day -
My mama used to quote "To know and not to do is not to know."
And "When you know better, do better!"
Isn't this quilt fun? I'm not sure if it's fish or birds in a circle, but it's got me captivated!
I am wishing you a wonderful Monday -
