The weather just won’t give us a break – I haven’t seen the sun in days and it is raining almost every day. The ground is saturated! I can see I wouldn’t do well in states that have a lot of rain – I want my sun back! The temperatures for Arkansas are below normal for this time of the year and has been pretty much steady in the 50′s most days instead of the normal high 60′s for this time of year.
Rainy weather is good for sewing though and I have been busy in the house working on that. I actually dragged out my storage box with all the “Insanity Revisited” blocks and fabric and got back to work on those yesterday. I had only done one block when I was traveling and had concentrated on the project of hand piecing the So Charming quilt – which of course is done but waiting in line to be quilted. I got two more of the Insanity Revisited blocks done between last night and today.
"Insanity Revisited" Row 8 (H) the first 3 blocks
I also got more of the “Insanity” blocks quilted last night and this morning. I have two more blocks of the final row to quilt then on to the last border.
Row 13 (M) blocks 9 & 8
Row 13 (M) blocks 11 & 10
I finished this 3rd Baltimore Bliss block the other day but neglected to get a photo of it until today.
Tonight I will get to work cutting out the pieces for the 4th Baltimore Bliss block and maybe get the block prepped to work on. Also I want to quilt the last two blocks of Row 13 on “Insanity” I doubt I will have time to work on the “Insanity Revisited” quilt tonight. That one I hope to work more on than I have been doing, but I will try to fit it in here and there.
Of course now I am trying to come up with ideas for a jelly roll that I have and the Moda Bake Shop just keeps giving me ideas!! Too many of them of course. You can click on the “jelly roll” words to see which one I have. Right now I think my ideas all go to pairing the jelly roll strips with an off white or white fabric and do something easy like the “Sweet Menagerie” quilt that they posted today.
Then again maybe I just need to hold on to that jelly roll for awhile and concentrate on all the on-going projects!!
