I fixed the problem that I had with both Doreen’s Hearts and my Asian Table Runner.
The problem that I had with Doreen’s Hearts is that it was going to be 9×10 squares and I don’t like rectangular quilts so I was thinking of ways to make it square but then, I was also having a problem with the Asian Table Runner in that I had 89 pieces which really doesn’t make much of anything but a really big table runner!
So I decided to even the table runner up to 100 pieces and I was going to make them as half square triangles and not as extra pieces. But then, like a bolt out of the blue I got the “er der” idea to just make an extra 10 squares for Doreen’s Hearts which would then get me nearly enough pieces for my table runner!
Sheer genius 
So, that is what I’ve been doing yesterday afternoon and this evening.
I have all my half square triangle sewed together into pinwheels with all of them sewed to another and some of them are sewed into a four patch.
I had to stop due to time constraints cause I wanted to blog here and I also have to tidy up my room and put away all the bargains that I bought today and look a few other things up before I go to bed and back to work tomorrow.
I went shopping today to look for a pair of white pants for a (part time) job that I’ve just started.
I know, I know…. white pants, what am I thinking?
However, it is part of the uniform and I had to get them. I found this out on Tuesday and I’ve been dreading shopping for them since. I had to rope a girlfriend into going shopping with me for them to ensure that I didn’t harm myself in anyway!
So anyways, onto bragging about my bargains. I found:
- 2 pairs of white jeans for $9.50/pair – down from $40/pair
- 1 skirt for $10 – down from $35
This bag:
for $40 – down from $60
And this bag:
for $50 – down from $100!
I also bought quite a few pairs of undies cause they had 20% off and some gym wear from Kmart that if you bought one piece you got the second at 50% off.
I don’t even want to know how much money I spent today, although I don’t regret any of it!
I just love it when you go shopping and you end up with totally unplanned bargains. It just makes my day

Tip of the Day:
When your machine starts sounding really loud like the needle is clunking against the plate when you sew, it is probably a good time to change the needle!
