Instead of just settling in for a long winter's nap I appear to be just waking up from a Thanksgiving coma...yikes! Every year the company that I work for closes for the week of Thanksgiving/deer hunting season...yes that's a real thing here in my part of the world. It's a week for spending time with family and of course quilting, quilting and quilting. I had huge plans for the week, that came to a screeching halt when I had to admit defeat to a sinus infection and rest.
That's okay, I still got a few things finished. Like Jenny's
I also caught up on Cindy at Stitchin At Home's Medallion Quilt. I don't think there are too many more to go, before this one can work its way to becoming a finished quilt top.
I also spent some time making the last two blocks for The Children's Library QAL and piecing the top together. I had two rows finished, complete with sashing and I can admit, I wasn't in love. I just wasn't sold on my very busy sashing fabric. I pulled David in for a bit of advice on fabrics for the two blocks. All of the blocks have been made from fabrics in my stash (yay for using fabrics) but I was afraid they didn't really go together. He pointed out that most of the colors in the blocks where found in the center Alice In Wonderland Block...completely a coincidence. He helped me pull a few more colors in from that block and thus, Peter Rabbit
and The Mouse and the Motorcycle were born.
The time and date stamp fabric gave this quilt some crazy movement across the quilt. I felt like my eyes were crossing if I looked at it too long.
I do have a small quilt finish in the form of puppies, but we will save that for it's own little post. So I am back and feeling so much better. I still have quite a few items on my list to finish, but all in good time. I hope everyone had a wonderful holiday and was able to sneak in a bit of quilting time.
Today I'm linking up with Let's Bee Social and a very special edition of Midweek Makers...the 100th edition!!!!
