wacky sleep pattern has made me zombie-like for about a week...time change culprit? maybe in part plus the cabin fever too i imagine...even my sewing mojo was hibernating...to give it a kick i signed up for a doll quilt swap...one i've done before hosted by lori over at humble quilts...this was one i received in the past...
and it did give me a bit of oomph to do something else....
while sorting some finished pieces, pulled this one out as it needs a sleeve....made in 2012 and gave to mom...she hung it in her bedroom...still missing her so very much as the one-year mark approaches.
also prepped pieces for an upcoming sewing afternoon with a friend....we're making thread catchers...chose some spring-like kaffe prints for mine....
lastly, more quilting got done on 'dreams'....i've finished 3 star blocks and now almost the 3rd cross-hatch block....don't anticipate this will be done before june at least...
last night slept thru the night save for a usual bathroom visit. *** i've been reading on my kindle since losing my transportation and i read online that it may be a culprit with interrupted sleep patterns, so after i finish my current book i'm going to trade off to the paper kind to see if it matters. also wondering if it might be a contributor to my excessive dry eyes.
yesterday watched st. pat's day parade from boston....so thankful for youtube! not everyone knows that it is also a state holiday for massachusetts--evacuation day--the day george washington with the help of general knox drove the Brits out of boston, actually dorchester heights. next month the patriot's day parade will be a big deal since it's the 250th anniversary of the founding of our republic...a very big deal given the state of things today...
sun's out, temps to 60+, spring here....how good is that? have a blessed day...
Cute little Dresden plate quilt that you made for your mom. I like the fabric you picked out for your thread catcher. That will be a fun quick project. No 60 degrees here . . . it snowed again. It was a beautiful storm (but then, I like the snow).
ReplyDeleteGreat projects , as always. It will be so good to get the hanging sleeve on you Dresden quilt.
ReplyDeleteAnother nice batch of projects. The doll quilt swap would be fun. Are you assigned a partner or do you send your quilt to one person who'll do the sorting?
ReplyDeleteI'm having some trouble adjusting to a normal sleep pattern, too. But I have a doctors appointment tomorrow morning, so I really should get to bed.
ReplyDeleteLovely projects, all. Have you decided what you'll do for this year's swap? I chose to sit out this year.
I've done a lot more Kindle reading lately, and the past year I've had more dry eye. I got the glasses that are supposed to be better for "screen time", but I still struggled. At my annual eye check-up the doc recommended the non-prescription drops "Refresh-Plus". He said the screen reading may contribute to the problem, but it is just something that happens as we age. Thanks doc. ;) He even uses the drops.
And they are covered by the medicare advantage plan I am on, so that works for me.
Yes, the 250th is approaching and it will be a BIG deal, you're right. My great grandmother and her brother's family lived in Dorchester, MA. I remember going to visit them as a young girl, they lived in a second story apartment and the stairs were on the outside of the building! No wonder I remember that! Love each and every thing that you're working on. That Dresden Plate is a treasure. <3
