the weekend's here...

and plenty of sewing plans on the to-do along with some (drat) cooking duties...the many pluses to a healthy diet do not include quick-to-fix processed foods, so more time is taken up with meal prep and cleanup, but doing all i can to streamline the process to maximize sewing machine time...did finish block #2 in the antebellum album sew along PLUS finished all the setting blocks. 



block #2 (right) is made with some gorgeous jo morton prints....ah, i just love her fabric designs and anxious for may when a new line of neutrals will be out.  for now will focus on the scrappy DWR, a new applique gardening angel block and quilting the donation quilt.  a march finish?  that would be good but it's a busy month so probably not.  *** with the sighting of a skunk today and the sound of early morning birds, spring is definitely almost here.  time does indeed fly!

  1. I will agree that a healthy diet can take more thought, planning, and prep.
    Your blocks are lovely. I want to do a pink/brown quilt someday.
    I think we had Spring last month. Now we are having winter again. :)

  2. Beautiful blocks! I'm glad that you are taking the time to do whatever it takes to stay healthy because you are sooooooo worth it! Hugs!

  3. Love pinks and browns-lovely. Enjoy your sewing as a reward for following your new lifestyle. I am in the midst of 2 cataract surgeries which slows me down but hopefully will see well the rest of my life.

  4. I'm doing this BOM, too, and the final deciding factor was seeing your first block. I'm getting ready to bind my current quilt and then I'll be making all my setting blocks, too. I'll attach each block as I piece it and then by the end of the year I'll have my top all finished. I love your fabrics!
