Have a Great Day!

Rainy Day Ruminations

It is raining here as a front passes through the area. After it passes the temperatures should be rising into the 90's. I am currently sitting in an air-conditioned room with a sweater. Hopefully I will be able to get home to sew soon. Will post a picture of today's work later today

Block 1 and Block 2

Block 1 and 2 are finished!

I am working on a Block of the Month using Marti Michell's templates from Marti Michell Perfect Patchwork Templates and a block of the month kit I had originally purchased about 10 years ago!

Yes, it is part of my UFO stash.

The program has been newly released using the Stonehenge fabrics.

Mary and I are working on it at Quilts and More.  This week I have done two blocks.

Having a great time with it. I have forgotten what fun working with templates can be!

Stay tuned for the rest of the blocks in the coming weeks.

Sewing Hiatus

I feel as if I have been on a sewing hiatus.  Being away last week end and a week of preparing for my church's annual festival and just general summer yard  and garden prep, has kept me away from my sewing machine.  I have looked at several inspirational quilt magazines and even pulled out a few long lost projects.  But I have not seemed to be able to find the time to sit at the sewing machine. 

This cannot continue!

So...
Once I finish this post, I am giving myself at least 15 minutes to sew.  I know I won't get much done but I will have (hopefully!) overcome the feeling of being on a hiatus. 

BTW, the last blocks I sewed were these fun black and white blocks.  The fabric is from my seemingly never ending stash of black and white's from the Grange Quilter's swap a few years ago.  The pattern is called "Four X Four" and was found on-line at michaelmillerfabrics.com after the swap a few years ago.  The pattern says it is a quilt by Swirly Girls Design.  I don't know if it is still available. 

A New Knitting Project

I love this yarn! I paid a long overdue visit to "The Mermaid's Purl" in Wickford. It is one of my favorite yarn shops. I saw this yarn, as well as several other skeins, that I just had to purchase and do I did. I can't wait to start working on it.
I will post a picture when the scarf is finished.
