I joined the "Just Take Two" quilt along! I have taken red and white and made these blocks...there are many more to come. I love this red! I took great pains to wash the fabric, twice, with color catchers, so I would not have bleeding afterward...here's hoping for that!! I am really enjoying these blocks!

Here is the plaid quilt Jewel Box, just putting rows together...a sticking point for me, so I am taking it a step at a time. I love these plaids! Just truly love them so much!

In an old quilting magazine, I found the most fun Snail's trail quilt...so I cut a block to see how the directions were...they were perfect! I can see a scrappy snail's trail in my future.

Aurofil threads is sponsoring a stitchery BOM...I did the first month. Now, I am famous for starting these and just doing the first month...so I cut out all the background blocks in advance! Trying to trick myself...maybe it will work!
But mostly, I have been working on projects that are not really much fun to photograph.
* I cut out one billion tiny bow ties..., well, about 400 may be closer to the correct number
* I cut out a trillion 2.5 inch red strips for another quilt.. (maybe 100)
* I cut setting blocks for another quilt...about 50 of these.
I feel pretty good about all this progress!! But not so good in that I have the winter cold that is going around...I usually try to avoid this! Grrr!! So, I am making home made chicken soup for myself...yummy!
***********Nurse's notes*******************
Well, I went and got a needle stick...thank goodness it was a clean needle, but unfortunately it had insulin in it and I injected it into myself. A really big patient, and a swing of the arm at just the wrong time...sometimes no matter how careful a person is, things happen!! Just 3 units, but it did make me pretty hungry, LOL!! NO worries...it would have been quite different if it was a dirty needle!
I had a darling 95 year old lady patient...lives by herself, did her own laundry, and cooking and cleaning...and caring for her lawn!! I just am so very impressed with her, she is a true marvel!! NOW if that does not inspire us, nothing will!!

Another flat, same tire...I got new tires and hopefully that will take care of it once and for all!!
Have a great day, all!
