tuesday stuff....

before jumping into to-do list, a quick post....still car-less....continuing PT exercises at home but difficult to get the heart rate workout i need...did a mish mash of stitching stuff...

pulled some stash fabric for a small baby quilt, the new project at the senior center...just enough of this fairy dust print for a 36x36 top.

putting away some selvedges and came across these two blocks made by lila, my ex's grandmother---the hazards of pawing thru containers...decided to put them together in a small piece...the setting triangles already cut, will quilt and finish off with the wee print binding on the left.  calling it 'remembering lila' altho i never met her, only heard the stories about her--she was the sewist and made many crazy quilts.  i was lucky to receive a box of her fabrics and some orphan blocks.  i made this from some...

this was lila, age 9, taken at a photo studio in provincetown which is actually still there...and here is my daughter high school photo...

uncanny eh?  and then early this morning--another fractured sleeping night--picked this up working toward a finish....

ended up tearful as i made some of these and gifted to my mom, she loved handmade things...BUT a few of my tears disintegrated the design paper, so had to put down.  should be done soon.   also kept up with my dargate basket-a-day, now only 79 to applique plus laundry, cooking etc.  

grief struggle goes on accentuated by being confined too much of the time.  plenty of sewing but even that gets ho-hum sometimes.  at least we've a break from the disgusting heat for one brief day.  off to tackle to do list!
