Time Out

It's been another of those rough weeks. As a result I've done no sewing at all in recent days. Last week I was playing around with stick blocks.


Then I read about Victoria's challenge over on the 15 Minutes of Play blog to make two blocks using only dots, stripes, and plaids. I found an old bit of strata that happened to be mostly dots and stripes and a big ole plaid. So I played around with that a bit until I had these two blocks:


Sent those off to V~ and haven't sewn since. I haven't even been back to see what V~ is doing with the blocks. But I did get some grandbaby time over the weekend. :- )


Unfortunately I still don't feel well enough to get back to sewing. On the other hand, I only have a few more days if I want to complete any February challenges by the end of the month!

  1. Oh my gosh those are adorable..the girls, the sticks, the crazy blocks, you. I just love it when a baby has one shoe on and one shoe off...too darn cute. Feel better soon, sweet Sue.

  2. Oh, how fast they grow!

    Be gentle with yourself - February's challenges can be done in March (the earth will not stop spinning) . . .

    LOVE that plaid-stripes-dots project!

    Hope you feel better again soon!

  3. Sorry to hear you're not feeling well again. I hope it passes soon.

    Love the baby pix, and all the quilt-y projects. They all look good. I'm really intrigued with the stick blocks, and someday I'll get around to doing some! The stripes/dot/plaid blocks are wonderful fun!

    Be kind to yourself. Julie's right - March will work just as well as Feb - and it's longer too!
