corona-cation, episode 11

with apologies to Poe....

once upon a tuesday dreary,

i'm not weak but i am weary,
gray skies and rain that won't subside,
while from corona i do hide.
no place to go, no one to see,

with endless time to sew, that's me,

quoth the maven evermore...

that was yesterday but today sunshine abounds, albeit briefly....more rain until the weekend when sunshine and spring return.....about time!   now for some eye candy....

my doll quilt arrived from Liz....isn't it adorable?  and the lovely stitchery on the back....thank you liz!  mine has not been revealed yet, but i'll post a photo when it's received...

and it has lots of blue!   very nice indeed....and i had a small finish....

only 25" square, titled "inspired by gwen" ....just solid scraps but i really like it....i was not really a gwen groupie but i love many of her solid geometric works that are really art quilts....and more of my 8-point scrappy stars got finished....these are done by machine waiting for hand sewing of pink triangles and squares.  hoping to get all 16 done before guild meetings resume--it'll be a good take along project.

and there was a bit of re-org of the stash, repurposing a small bookcase to free up floor space and empty the big canvas bag...

and what's this?  some empty space?  well that can be remedied....faster than you can say "fat quarter shop" some half yards of betsy chutchian's line 'nancy's needles' hopped into my cart and will soon be here.   this is only the second purchase i've made this year; the other was 2 half yards--blue crabs and lobsters--against 6 finishes, so no guilt at all.... despite grim news and burgeoning statistics, remain so very thankful for my continued health and that of my family.  all our needs are met and we are all safe.  praise God from whom all blessings flow......
