more blocks

as mentioned, more civil war diary blocks got sewn this week....the finish on this project is nowhere in sight but nevertheless will continue....the paper piecing is giving my vacuum a serious workout. no sooner than one session is tidy, a few more blocks and the floor is covered again with bits of paper and snippets of fabric....i do suffer for my art!  i haven't vacuumed this much in....well, never!

even though april is gone, figured might as well continue on making these blocks, fitting in other tasks plus quilting a couple of things.  a wall quilt is nearly finished quilting and the bed size is about half done.  with hot weather already starting to arrive, there'll be more days to sew with a/c cranked up.  ***  it's been a week of challenges and some minor stresses but those got offset with a nice concert at the local college and some sewing time with peeps.  my next goal is to make pals with that jeopardy champion....my car needs more work....LOL!

a merry month!

blogging has taken a back seat to sewing this past week with the construction of several more civil war diary blocks, lots of hand quilting.....plenty of pix to follow on another day.  but yesterday in the mail came an adorable little doll quilt from susan in TN....

simple but very nicely done and pretty fabrics.....this will hang on my antique sled along with a couple of others that get changed around periodically....summer is arriving this week with temps in the 80s for a couple of days...soon it'll be that warm and more every day...meaning my vacation is getting closer....lobster rolls on the horizon!
