Hello,

Well the days are getting longer,  but today the weather around here is very cold with snow.  It was far warmer last week.   One can not control the weather so I guess I’ll just smile and go on.   I only had two zoom meetings this week with the Pixies and the Sisterhood of the Scissors, so I should have gotten a lot of studio time.  But I did go and get my covid booster, an RSV shot and a shot for Shingles all on the same day.  My body did not like that  and I lost a whole day to feeling tired and sleeping.  Much better now and I remind myself that getting any one of these diseases would be a lot worse!

Progress Report: BV  Blocks project     I am still quilting away on the project.   I’d about half done at this point.   This part of the   SAQA  100 challenge.

Art Blocks ( middle sized)  This is the third quilt in the SAQA 100 challenge  day project.  We are at day 67 and I am even farther behind than I  was before.  I still have seven of the middle sized blocks to assemble and then I need to do the small version.   I am still not happy with my self about being unable to meet my goals and although I put in time every day I am still behind.

Ethel Quilt # 4  I have started quilting on this project.  But sense there is not dead line for it, this is the last project I tackle at the end of the day.  It is also very heavy to get through the standard machine.   My Phaff Quilter is off at the repair shop due to the fact that the bobbin winder is not working.

Pixie Pieces    I decided to call this Pixie Pieces because the base fabric is one I did with spoon flower in response to a push by the Pixies group.  I am using it with the Finding Fragments class because it has to do with altering the surface and I  did not like how the fabric turned out.

Coral Shores    I keep adding to this work and because I had two zooms this week it got more attention than usual.   I like how it is coming together.

Drawing      I put in a little time in the sketchbook this week too.  It is good to switch gears for me  as it really clears my head.  I need to do that more often.

I am hoping for a warmer spring as the days go longer.

 

Keep Creating

Carol
