I did get some stitching done before the crappy stuff started. Here's what made it to the design wall before I finally threw in the towel and went to bed.

| Grandmother's Choice A block of the week (BOW) by Barbara Brackman |
Block 6 of the Grandmother's Choice BOW was completed. I finally admitted defeat on block 5. I'll substitute another block for that one later.
Progress was also made on UFO #6, the Scrappy Stars project.

Two new stars were added to the design wall. I still have a bunch more to make for this project.
That's it for my design wall this week. Check out Judy's Patchwork Times for more new stuff.
There was a sunflower block in one of my magazines this month that I tore out. It looked like it would be easier to piece. If you want, I could scan it and send it to you. Your blocks look great. I love the fabrics you've selected.
ReplyDeleteMaybe that pesky block will be easier once you are feeling better. I do know that walking away from a problem in my studio has resulted in success later. :-)
ReplyDeleteBoth projects look great!
ReplyDeleteHope you're feeling better... we've had some stuff going around here as well. The one downfall of this time of year!
Happy sewing!
I hope you feel better soon Kate. Take it easy and rest up.
ReplyDeleteThe BOW quilt blocks are looking great. Block 5 might come good if you come back to it later , otherwise your idea of substituting another block is a plan that wont make you tear your hair out.
I really have to pull my finger out and start doing some sewing again !
I'm piecing a different block five - but somehow I managed to pick one with more piecing than necessary! Might have been easier just to hand-sew the original. ;)
ReplyDeleteHope you feel better soon!
That sounds flu-like. Hope you can shake it soon. Love the blocks Right now, I'm just looking at the pictures. Just can't seem to commit to anything.
ReplyDeleteBoth of your projects are looking good. Sorry to hear you are under the weather. I hate that when I'm in the mood to sew, especially. Hot tea with lemon and honey always helps with my throat and to sleep better.
ReplyDeleteI worked on the sunflower but now I am so far behind I still need to do the last three. Yours are looking great.
ReplyDeleteThose Grandmother's Choice blocks play so nicely together.
ReplyDeleteHope you are feeling fighting fit real soon.
The Grandmother's blocks are so pretty, as are the Stars. Hope you are feeling better and able to take up needle and thread more often :)
