I have the flimsy done. =) I may have been quiet, but I am always busy. Now to get it quilted before winter is over. *wink*
Yesterday, I got out my two containers of strings and threw a couple of blocks together. As I have mentioned before, scrappy is hard for me, however, once I got started, I couldn't stop! I sorted out the lower volume fabrics I had, cut a bit into my yardage and fat quarters for more variety and I am well pleased with how this project is coming along. I am really excited to see how it will look after I get the blocks sewn together.
Quilting truly is my therapy. When life is hard, I can lose myself in a project. It helps to keep the fear and sadness at bay. It is a true blessing to me.
I hope you are all doing well.....
scrappy always turns out surprisingly great!!! your flimsy also looks beautiful.
ReplyDeleteOh I love the fabrics and colors!! And your string blocks are gorgeous. I agree, quilting is therapy. I have been missing my machine, it's been in the shop for almost two weeks and I'm having withdrawals. The hum of the needle is so relaxing!
ReplyDeleteI love your both of them!!! But I especially love the one with the Christmas balls on it ! The colors are beautiful...
