Sewing on the Road

My stay in Texas ends today.  All my stuff is packed up and ready to load. I'm having my coffee while I put this post together. It's been a fun visit with Grad Girl.  We had a lazy weekend. I sewed at the dining room table, she played video games on the couch while we binge watched shows on Disney.  So pretty much a perfect weekend.  

I did get a lot of stitching done. My priority project for the week was to finish the blocks for the 2025 Guild BOM.  The guild meeting got canceled due to all the snow, but I posted the blocks on the guild's Facebook page so everyone could see the color for the month of March. 



 

Everyone will be making teal, aqua, turquoise blocks for next month.  I had all of the blocks kitted, except I forgot to cut scraps for the border around the Inverted Star. A quick trip to JoAnn's fixed that omission.  

Progress was also made on catching up with the Stay at Home Round Robin.  But I forgot to get any pictures.  As everything is packed to load it would be a pain to dig out the project bag.  

I brought way more projects then I could work on. I didn't make any progress on Old Town or the Marble Mystery.  This is the last week for the SAHRR, hopefully I'll get back to those two projects in another week or so.  

Linking up with Design Wall Monday and Patchwork & Quilts.  

It was a fun week and I'll miss these two once I'm back home. 




Fingers crossed traffic isn't too bad today.

Hope you had a great trip back home. What a sweet photo of GG and Queenie! Sounds like it was indeed the perfect weekend. More importantly, what did you eat? :D Those blocks are beautiful.
I am sad about JoAnn's closing. Their store has become one of my favorites, and their absence will be felt in our community.
