Phase Three for
Olympic Curling blocks
The interesting and challenging
thing is that the "CENTER" of
these fabrics
Will Not Show
when the next layer is laid
on over these--
just the edges...
Very counter-intuitive as
I am using (cut from file folders)
circle templates...
⟲
then the following and
LAST little circle
does show but also
gets cut when you
quarter these blocks
as below

********************
I set my timer for 30 minutes
and stopped!!
THAT IS MY OUTER LIMIT!
This included finding and
cutting fabrics for this round..

WINTER BLUES
progress
[using up 2.5" sqs]
πππ
I have four of six done...
{These blues are Willa's favorite color}
AND
I looked through my precuts
{charms and mini charms}
for purples (Fiona's fave color)
These groups of 6
will form the centers of
Easter Dolly quilts for
my grandgirls...
AND
I think I have some cute
Easter egg fabric
πππ
(somewhere!!)
to surround them...
I haven't decided if they
should be sashed;
but I am leaning
toward doing that...
[Also my good friend
Lizzy at (click)
sent me the cutest bunny pattern
that I could either stitch or applique
for the other sides...
That is the plan so far....]
***************************
FYI: I had a good report from my
ORTHO MD--
he was pleased
{and so am I}
So far, so good after
only 10 days since my epi!!
I am getting more pain free
hours and am able to
sleep better...
✌ππ
That is the status right now...
Tonight for dinner it will be char-broiled
cheese burgers with
tater tots

I'm glad to see you playing with fabric again even if it is only for 30 minutes.
ReplyDeleteThat is so exciting that the epidural is working! Good on you for sticking to 30 minutes. That still gives you fun and sewing progress while being careful! xo
ReplyDeleteGood news from dr!!!!! the girls quilts sound fun. Easter will be here before we know it
ReplyDeleteWow, I had no idea these would be cut into quarters. Very interesting. So glad you are feeling well. Also the team from my home province, Newfoundland, won Bronze at the Olympics in curling. Very happy for them.
ReplyDeleteThis is going to be just fabulous when you're done. And three cheers on the good report -- and better sleeping, too!
ReplyDelete30 minutes is great! Slow and steady progress is a good thing. I'm happy that you got a good report from the specialist - yay on all fronts!
ReplyDeleteThe curling blocks - such a cute idea! Looking forward to seeing these progress.
ReplyDeleteSo glad you're feeling better. Love your curling project!
