Project Linus
Some time ago I posted about a basket of quilting fabrics and patterns that our son had won for me at a raffle. This Connecting Threads flannel quilt kit was in the basket. It was a joy to make and the fabrics were such good quality. I have a lot of fabric left from it, so I'm sure I can come up with something else for Project Linus with the leftovers.
Next Friday two friends and I are headed to a quilt retreat. I have had it on my mind a lot, and I'm making lists and trying to figure out just what among my several options that I want to take to work on. I have precut the first two blocks in the free Bunny Hill Designs BOM and I am taking them to start with. The blocks are so cute, and I'm excited to get going on them. I'll keep watching for the March block.
I pulled out my Farmer's Wife quilt blocks the other day, and cut the setting blocks and corners. I did a little bit of putting it together and I'm thrilled with the way it looks.
I've been trying to be careful about what I eat, and then friends invited us to go to a German restaurant tonight, so that's definitely not going to help the cause. Hopefully I will get back on the "careful" wagon tomorrow.
Have a wonderful weeked, and hopefully you will have some quality time doing whatever floats your boat.
