lucky 13? i sure hope so...things are easing up a bit here and it's possible the fitness centers will re-open end of next week....with that in mind, will be spring cleaning in earnest in readiness. in the meantime, sewing has continued as per usual....the wildest dream stars have been set aside now waiting for hand work...
i like these more than ever and already thinking about how they will be hand quilted...and tho i've refrained from starting new projects, caved and made these 4 blocks...
for some time now have been looking for a pattern that would use up 2.5" strips as my tote is jam packed....the herd simply has to be thinned. a simple kansas dugout pattern seemed ideal. this will be totally scrappy, even within individual blocks. for a twin i'll need about 140 or so blocks, hoping to empty the tote. this will get donated when completed. *** then earlier this year, started another new quilt top. had some batik scraps left over from itty bitty pineapple blocks, a project that got abandoned....
set the scraps aside for "someday" when this book came along filled with colorful batik projects...and this got chosen....
color and va-voom to the max....and the size is do-able for me. *** may goals are in full swing; the little easter panel is just about done. next comes the small quilt of stars for the sew-along, then it's back to the honeycomb project. this protracted era of stay-at-home may eventually end, but i know i'll still have plenty of sewing time. *** lastly, continually realize how very blessed me and my family are when i see the death, hunger, frustration and fear all around me. it makes me think of Passover, when the angel of death passed by the doors that had been marked by the blood of the lamb...surely God has us under His protective arms....
It looks to me like you have some pretty ambitious projects, Grace!!
