Here are the first few of my "new found" desire
to sew
once again
For the last 3-4 evenings, I've been sorting squares in colorways:
Here are some of the "blues" ↶↶↶↶↶↶
Moon phases....
Shy Lion--
being watched by a
Zebra :))))
Whale songs....
I now have enough to make four more blocks...
So, there will be 6 blocks in total of these.
With a few strips of 6 blues leftover...
*****************************************************************************
THE BACK STORY:
So, I began these blocks, deep😷 in my
Covid brain fog...not wanting to sew at all---
REALLY not having the desire to sew --AT ALL!!
I began dispiritedly just MAKING myself sew twosies--
from a shoebox-full of leftovers...
S I G H ...
Just push on through it... aaargh....😔😩
Then, strangely...
I began to hunt and peck
through my shoebox for some
that "kinda" matched up a bit...
and that piqued my interest a little....
Then I decided: why not strip sets... from those twosies...
using my leftover jelly roll fabrics maybe,,,hmmmmm
there's a thought....not just my usual
chock-a-block postage stamp quilts...
[I know this is nothing new, but it was to me...you know how that happens?]
So, I slept on that idea for a night...
I had not done any other sewing since I finished up my binding journey...
[and there are still two of those outstanding--the Christmas two pieces--
but I had had it with binding and layering for a while.;0000
So they are waiting in the wings]
************************************************
I was happy to be back sewing a bit at a time now...
And still sorting by colors: red/green--I have a lot of those
and the "others" just a kinda mish-mash...
And, best of all--;)))
My shoebox of those 2.5" sqs. has
morphed into
twosies....
Which will be on hand if I need them for borders or
anything else that calls my name...
************************************************
I have been reading how many of us are or have been stymied,
almost feeling paralyzed by enertia, during this Covid outbreak...
I am thankful to have come upon at least hint of my former
"go-to--it-ive-ness"
for sewing....
I hope this find you all healthy and able to move yourself along...
Hugs, Julierose, La Blageuse (machining away-euse)
