Cotton Club (out of order)

Jan25

Oh so glad you stopped by. Are you having a good day? It’s a good day here. I kept my priorities straight. I wasn’t sure I was going to get any quilting in with the chores today but I stayed focused and balanced. All the important things at Leehaven were tended to and I even hit my quilting goal. I cut and completed Block 21 of the latest Cotton Club BOM. For this batch there are 2 more. Now don’t go thinkin’ I’ve got it all together. I’m actually behind on the overall BOM but I might as well start where I am.

Block 19 & 21

 

These blocks are 5″ finished. The HST’s are 1″ finished which I reckon you can figure out for yourself but I thought I’d just type it out.

I have one other tidbit of news about my forehead. Yesterday I bent down to pick up an almond on the kitchen floor. One of my cats was after it. I didn’t want her to get the almond. I instinctively think everything is a potential Vet bill. Anyway, on the way down to get the almond I smacked my forehead on the kitchen counter. SmAcKeD! I didn’t see stars but it did shake me for about 2 beats. Not long but dang it hurt. I have a nice egg with a lovely bruise. A friend said “houses can be dangerous” and gosh she wasn’t kidding.

Leaving you bruised, battered and blocked, *karendianne.

 

Sew Productive

Jan23

Happy Monday! Are you ready for the week? I’m on a roll so I hope I can keep ahold of it a little longer. I’d like to continue getting some things accomplished.

Cotton Club Block 19

Most every set of blocks from the Cotton Club BOM seems to have a “favorite block” of mine & this one is it for me with this latest set. I want to increase the size and make more, I want to play with color and just go, go, go. Maybe later. That’s more distraction than I have time for at the moment.

Cheddar Bow Ties

The goal was 20 Bow Ties to add by this weekend but I’m short 5. That’s because I misplaced the five I had to re-sew. Where are those little buggers?

Strawberry Lemonade - 1

Love the lines! These are my Strawberry Lemonade HST’s (w/ Inklingo) before they made it into the blocks below:

Strawberry Lemonade - 2

And now I’m ready to make progress with Pink Lemonade. I’m also ready to make progress in a few other areas so I’ve got to make my priorities and get focused.

Thanks for the visit and I hope you have a great start to the week!  *karendianne.
