A couple of weeks ago we had the most glorious sunny autumn long weekend here. This is how I mostly saw it, from my sewing room window.
(Alright, I admit that I took the photo standing outside so you can't see how much the window needs cleaning.)
So Saturday lunchtime I wondered what to do with myself and
Randy's Sow-a-long started calling to me. Remember I said that I didn't really need to start another long term project? Well it turns out that I really did need to. So, by Monday afternoon I had all these lovely blocks!
And I was all caught up - until the last lot went up on Wednesday and I haven't had time to do them yet, but I will. I've tried to pick out fabrics that I think are a bit Civil War "ish". I don't really know if they are or not, but that's the feel that I'd like to go with, but I also just want to use up the stuff that's in the cupboard as much as I can.
I've also decided to link this post up with
Mrs P's Favourite Things Friday - because today it is my favourite thing.
Gorgeous quilt Bev! It is going to be beautiful. Great garden pic too! Thanks for sharing.
ReplyDeleteIt's looking great, so far. And yep, it also looks like you really did need to start a new project. There was no sitting out of that Sew Along.
ReplyDeleteLovely lovey works. It does look a bit like the civil war quilts, but different. it might just be the blocks you made, not the colours.
ReplyDeleteBeautiful blocks! Obviously the new project was very necessary.
ReplyDeleteBig hugs from your niece. I'm so glad you dropped by to my little Friday linky party!
ReplyDeleteSometimes projects just call us and it's futile to resist. A new project re-invigorates the mojo you know.
I started my Farmer's Wife QAL in January and have managed a grand total of 8 blocks so far ....maybe I should send them off to you so I can catch up to where I'm supposed to be !
