Where have you been? You've been pretty much MIA since I returned from Illinois. I know I have been neglecting my blog when my Mom calls me and asks "Why haven't you been posting?" (Hi Mom!)
It's not that I haven't wanted to sew, but I've been trying a new medication that has left me feeling worse than the original ailment, then tried another with the same side effects, so I have to trade one kind of pain for another. Not fun.
I've also been a little scattered trying to figure out which of my many projects I want to work on. For someone who likes to work on one at a time, starting 3 new quilts in class and a shop model partially finished has left me feeling overwhelmed.
Last weekend, I finally got bit again by the sewing bug and my Pfaff got a workout. While Nicole and Thelma both finished their LARGE class projects, I thought the easiest course for me would be to finish our Schnibbles class project, Darcy. I love the bright batiks I used for for this one. As my friend Joyce mentioned, it has a tropical feel to it, and I love it.
This weekend I am diligently sewing on my shop model - almost finished! And planning/cutting projects to take on my guild retreat (3 weeks away!!!)
The Bluebird of Happiness has landed in my sewing room and I feel that love of fabric and sewing returning - hallelujah!
Glad you got your mojo back! I just got mine back too. We've missed you!

ReplyDeleteLisa -- welcome back! I love your beautiful quilt and the bluebird is most adorable. I know you are struggling with your ailment and hope you can get some meds to work for you not create more problems, it's difficult to concentrate on pleasures(quilting) when you are physically hurting. Thanks for brightening my day. MOM
