Remember...Everyone....Deployed....with 2 nephews as brand new enlisted men, this takes on personal meaning....thank you Delaware sister daughters for posting this!
barb over at "fun with barb and mary" is sewing some pretty circle blocks with leftovers from friend wendy.... i too have a circles project in the beginning stages....
welcome to mister fassett's neighborhood....it's a colorful and vibrant place to live, even on gray days there is brightness everywhere! ready to move, are you?
it's about 36" square so a small development, but the residents have jumped right in and let their color fantasy come to life....i am really happy how it turned out and that my basic math skills didn't fail me...LOL! it just makes me smile....
hump day and sewing has decreased my stress level a tiny bit....so much on my mind with concern for people with serious illness, working very hard at PT that leaves me drained, supplementing with fitness center visits and home exercises, attacks on my health from vile neighbors, an apartment that isn't secure despite the lock making it generally unpleasant living here for far too long, logistics of upcoming travel and what level my abilities will be, finances and my car....most of which are not life threatening but add up to significant and enough to keep relaxing off in the distance.
this year so far i've held off quite well starting new projects, but the bookmobile is bringing me another kaffe fassett book so i just might cave...still have a lot of scraps to use up....like what quilter doesn't? rhetorical question that....LOL!
today's post is brought to you by the letter "F"...first up, a "F"inish!
the blueberry bread cloth is done and looks right at home in a longaberger basket, formerly the scrap basket, which will now search for a new home. that's another UFO off my conscience...LOL!
then, F is for "F"riend....my friend Nann to be specific.....she sent me this astounding package....
the package contained some finished blocks, also a few small applique kits and patterns and a stack of commercial hand dyed fabrics (all to feed my growing applique habit) for me to "F"inish, this begun by an anonymous quilter....it was a "F"ind at an estate sale, no doubt, as Nann is known to prowl around and find amazing things for cheap money....and today i "F"inished a wall quilt "F"limsy using some of the completed pieces with plans for those that remain....just right for some lovely hawaiian-style echo quilting, which i love to do.
