No shirt shopping today, my son came over with Archie and we went for a rainy, muddy walk in the woods. Archie loved it and so did we. This is him after he went out in the garden a few weeks ago and rolled in foxy mess, straight in the bath before he gets anywhere near anything. Now he looks like a proper dog not a puppy, you can't tell what his ancestry is. The ears and short legs are his daschound father, everything else is from his Labrador x Staffordshire terrier mum. He has the Staffy madness and is happy with EVERYTHING and everybody.
I cut up all the shirts this evening, saving every bit including the collars for the strip bins. All that's left are the seams and bits with iron on interfacing, but look at the waste. I really can't use any of this, except maybe for a rag rug-agh!!-stop it!! It's going in the compost bin! I'm going to iron before bed so it will be all tidy in the morning.
After around 15 hours of hand quilting in the last 10 days, not much really, I have developed my first quilters callus! I am SO proud!

don't you hate when your fingers GET to tendar!
especially when I have done a lot of English paper piecing and after catching the top of my thumb a few dozen times it eventually splits, then hurts when I stab it!
