in order to keep my mind occupied on mother's day, planned several tasks, most got done. vacuuming, homemade pizza and lots of sewing rounded out the day. finished this sew-along challenge piece:
juvenile delinq-cats ready for its new home, not sure yet where that will be.
this little mini also got finished, sick of looking at it on my design wall, plus i needed the space for what else? something new! i machine quilted this one. camera view has it looking lopsided but it isn't.
more blue album blocks were sewn and trimmed and some sashing added. i had toyed with the idea of blue cornerstones, but nahhh...this project is busting my muslin stash big time. seeing them all together like this really encourages me to make more...
and the sign of a true friend is this wee squishie of new-to-me kaffe fabrics...one i've seen but the others not....i'll be using them right away cutting leaves for my hearts and leaves wreath wall quilt.
so what's on tap this week? must assemble the wheelchair quilts for walter reed, to get the fabric off my sewing table. also cut more blue album blocks, begin assembling the blue lotus wall piece, quilt more on s'mores, maybe some cross stitch too and definitely the dargate baskets....ambitious list i know. the week has started on a high note with my 30 minutes of cardio...i try to get in 3 visits, total 90 minutes, which makes cardioman happy and boosts my mental outlook. so very thankful i was forced into it as it's made a big difference in my quality of life.




Busy week -- and you have a book to read, too.
