Slow!

I'm not sure if it was the cellulitis infection or the medication I had to take to clear it up, but it seems the "write-side" of my brain shut down for a while. Lesson learned: be very careful treating small cuts and bug bites! Thank goodness for the nurses in my life--thanks again Miriam and Nancy!

I'm going to try to get back to blog posting after a month of avoiding my computer--here goes:

At least I didn't lose my sewing mojo! My May UFO, Devils' Claw, is complete--yippee!

It's probably difficult to see the quilting, but I used my clam shell ruler to quilt the top with an orange peel design.
I had intended to just do a simple meander, but somehow this design won out and I'm really happy with how it looks on all that piecing.

Look at all the pink prints I was able to use up on the back--yay!
(More room for incoming fabrics!)

This was a really fun one to make--labor intensive, but worth it (except for those pesky square in a square segments!). And it was a good way to use lots of those fat quarters that seem to pile up. The pattern is from the book Civil War Remembered by the Country Threads ladies.
(Yes, I still need to get those bedding plants in the ground!)
At least I get to check another UFO off my 2016 Finish-A-Long list! 

I would say I've been hard at work on the three inch blocks for Lisa's Flower Garden, but really, these aren't work. They have been very addictive and so much fun to stitch. 

I only have nine of them left--perfect for some Slow Sunday Stitching!
