Sunday Sewing

I have had sick children for over 2 weeks now!!!

Do you know what that means!?!?!

It means they are home off school,

they NEED constant attention

and they create a LOT of extra laundry.

Besides all that there is the worry...

you worry that they seem so unwell,

that some nasty bug just won't go away...

or some nasty teeth are causing pain...

and all you want is to see them better.

Then when they are vaguely better,

you want to sew!!!

Over the last week, I didn't feel

that I could spend much time in the studio

as there was always one child

either crying or being sick,

so I brought in some fabrics from the studio

 and just decided to cut, cut, cut!

(I cut scraps for easy use and I cut a new project.)

In my previous post, I showed the quilt

that inspired my Jelly Bean Borders.

I have really liked that quilt from the first time I saw it.

I also have quite a few Fat Quarters

that I have been 'saving' for a special project.

Well, I wanted to do this project

and I also wanted to use some of these 'special' fabrics....

Here are the first few sewn up.

I think I have another 20 something cut out...

I'm planning on making 48 blocks

and then I'll see what it looks like

with the same borders as before. 

I'm not sure all the blocks will 'work',

but I'll decide that when I have more.

It's really nice to use these favourite FQ's

for some of the blocks as it brings back memories

of either being gifted them or buying them.

Here is one very good excuse

why my house is never tidy!!!:

How can you get cross with a face like this:
