Today the boys were off with the Autism Society for most of the day so I got some time to myself. I got another 2 bobbins of Gotland spun long-draw, but had to stop due to a complaining shoulder; not used to long-draw yet. I then shifted to spinning my normal way with some Alpaca/silk which is lovely.
I also went to Fabric Vision to get the remaining plain fabric for our king-sized quilt. They didn't have the same colour as I already have so I got a slightly darker shade of the same green which looks good with it. They didn't have quite as much as I wanted, but with the old green and some yardage from the original collection I should be fine. I did a layout on the bed yesterday and I'm going with a medallion style quilt. The middle will be a 6x7 arrangement of the blocks with borders around that of possibly both greens; maybe with a block on each corner as well. No photo's of all that at the moment, I need to concentrate on the spinning and there are curtains to do too.

Tomorrow I'm at the guild so more spinning will get done, probably no sewing though.
