SLOWLY BUT SURELY



 I am sooo behind with the Splendid Sampler blocks.  I started out with great enthusiasm determined to commit myself to making each block as soon as it was released. So what happened? Well, after success with a challenging block and a big sigh of relief I then discovered that I had cut it too small along with another couple. I think that is when my SS mojo flew out the window.  Okay, so how does one get themselves re motivated?  I decided to head back in that sewing room, get out the binder of SS patterns and start cutting. I figure that if I at least cut them and bag them I can piece them another time. Once I have that sewing machine humming there shall be no stopping me!  4 blocks are bagged and labelled and I plan to cut out more blocks tomorrow.


 
 
I have completed 2 more Lucy Boston blocks which now makes a grand total of 8. I am only going to make 4 more so I am nearly there.
 
 
 
 
I finished binding my May mini. June is nearly ready for piecing and I have just finished selecting fabrics and threads for July and August. Need more threads. Oh dear, how sad! Hehehe.
 
 
 
 
My secret sewing is nearly done but I can't show you yet. I am also about to embark on hand quilting another finished project. My teddies are hollering and my latest little Civil War quilt has been neglected for quite a while. Off to sew I go.
 
Angel Blessings.
