Pretty quiet on the sewing front here. We have a Japanese student staying with us, so we have been spending our time sight seeing and working on communicating. It's certainly been an interesting experience! In honour of his visit I got out an old UFO, a sashiko panel from a craft show a few years ago.

I've done some more quilting on The Simple Life and finished another Irish Circles block. I love the blues in this one from last week (maybe I should get the iron out too!).

Hope you find a quiet moment to stitch this week.
