friday update

it was a day chock full of quilty and sewing fun....the plan was to get two things basted, which got done...first was the antebellum album sew along top.....

next unearthed this flimsy and got it basted as well...the blue and white.....

but before these, was up early and cutting up more solids for the mod black stripe project....a throw size is 81 blocks and when these are sewn up, will be just over halfway there...

and what's this?  more black and some batik strips...hmmm....another new project?  yes indeed...but a small one and should be able to show the flimsy in a day or two...

well the black fabric was already out and found a pattern while searching for something else....alas, the civil war diary blocks are delayed yet again but not by much....and at monthly bee yesterday got another stack of bow ties sewn up....May might just be a super month for busting stash!

same old story

was clearing the decks...the sewing table...to tackle more civil war blocks and came across some black strips cut for project in progress....got tired of moving them around soooo, sat down and made more blocks...sidetracked bigtime!

i'll need a total of 81 so just over half to make, but they work up quick....and with May nearly half over, sewed up my rainbow scrap challenge blocks today also....

pretty good progress considering in slow mo after a day of celebrating with my daughter and son-in-law....so nice just being with them but a beautiful gift and yummy dinner made it extra special!
