back in the groove....

Covid continues to wax and wane, normal life resumes after holidays and winter finally arrives!  we are under a weather advisory, 2-4" of snow....which makes this new england gal roll her eyes and chuckle.  another day with no specific plans other than the usual...here is my final report from magic week and the weekend....

finished the tree runner fashioned from leftover blocks...this is done and will get packed up with christmas stuff whenever that happens....also done is this...

some time this week a pinkeep will emerge....a zoom visit with like-minded sewists resulted in more of these finished...7 done and 9 to go...

and (drum roll please).....finished 2 blocks of the civil war diary book....

this is work as i am no longer enamored with this project, but i shall persevere and arrive at surrender...tried several methods to streamline these blocks but failed, so will soldier on....fabrics and pattern pulled for january mini, a new project started for a gift, list made of a few things i'd like to do this year....and this is the 2022 motto....

January OMG

in the Peanuts strip, Charlie Brown wishes Lucy a happy new year...she yells at him, "I'm not done with the old one yet!"...2021 did have its challenges for sure, but starting a new year with a fresh outlook and new hopes might be just the ticket for us, the Covid-weary....a quick post to list my January OMG...it is the long-languishing civil war diary quilt....this is THE month i decide-intend-plan to finish the blocks!  it's been patiently waiting for its turn and i am more than anxious to see this one off my quilty plate.  

you can see the foundation pieces sticking out from every block still to make...i think there are about 35....so a hefty task for one month but once begun is soon done!  i'm linking up with patty over at elm street quilts to make it all legal....
