Time on my hands

I've been doing a great deal of crafting while watching truly awful TV on the DVR. First, I worked on some sleeves.


And then I cut the background fabric for my pinwheel quilt. And went to town on it, having nothing better to do. The storms this evening didn't help- I was planning on going for a long walk, but not in a torrential downpour. So I finished seven squares


And all the rest are ready to be sewn.


I think that these two may be my favorite prints.


In other news, I have been given a beautiful old Australian spinning wheel. I don't know the genus, in fact I still don't know how to spin. But it was a kind and considerate gift, all the same. It came with a bunch of knitting needles and what seems to be a shuttle, too- all items no longer wanted where they were. I hope I can put them to good use.
