If you read my blog yesterday, you know that I was sequestered at home in my studio with a pile of sewing and pressing. I started at my normal time of 5 AM or shortly thereafter. It was a LONG, LONG day. Probably the most intense sewing day in my life!
It would have been one of those days when a camera that periodically takes shots would have been fun. Instead, I grabbed the camera and took a couple of shots.
This is what the sewing table looked like when I went for breakfast.

Oh god - are you kidding me???? How long is all this going to take?????

AT LAST - the last one got done about 8 PM. There were 40 covers in total to do! And all of them got done. Some parts were together, some were not. So not only did I have to fuse the fusible fleece on the bags, but I had to sew some part of all 40 of them. Perhaps a wee bit more planning was in order! Once the fleece was on, they all had to be trimmed to size.

Then I got out the AccuQuilt and started cutting something else. While I had never used an AccuQuilt, I've not been a fan, but I have to say that it was very slick to cut what I wanted!! I'm not sure I would want to cut blocks with it - but who knows. The applique worked like a charm.

| BIG garbage for all the trimming |
I was up early again this morning and got the next project lined up for sewing!

I'm not sure how I remained focused for the entire day. But I did. I managed to sneak outside for a few minutes to soak up a bit of the sun and see that the girls were up to. But it was an intense day! Thankfully it's done and onto today!
On that note, I'm out of here.
Have a great day!!!!
Ciao!
