FOUND: FOUR PATCHES & MOJO

                          I opened some storage drawers today and found a whole lot of 
                                                                        Four patches... 

                                                  These are leftovers from
                       The Curious Quilter's  postage stamp swap of a few years ago...

Somehow,  someone who was supposed to send 50 different squares ended up 
sending me all turquoise ones...

                                                    Some were all flowery

I have been away from my sewing since I came down with some sort of virus that has 
kept me under the weather...as a matter of act, on Thanksgiving, I was really
not feeling well...but with all my helpers we managed to put on a wonderful meal
and have fun, too...;)))))

                   So, I decided to sew a few together...groups of twelve...that seemed to mesh ...

Ironing all my seams open, as I prefer, in order to allow me to hand quilt more easily...and keep the
piece very flat....

                                    I still have 2 drawers full to try to put together...
                                    and these will be all scrappy as they do not match in any way....

SO.........................
where am I going with this, you ask???
Frankly, I have no idea...

I am just trying to get my sewing "mojo" back...
I had a little "talk" with myself and said "Just get in there and sew...."

SLO-MOJO

This is where I left off in...................OMG:  in JULY --😓😕😢😞😞
see there, I'm out on our deck,
quilting away...meantime................in between time...........

my poor Pomegranates have languished in my tote bag
since then.  YUP, nada quilting.....

I guess I just lost my M O J O for this project. :<((( 

I visited Kathy's quilts this morning for her Slow Sunday Stitching 
posting and  immediately thought about Poms...
they are resting underneath a side table that
I face in our tv room...all the time...
and I have AVERTED my
                                                  👀 (eyes)

up until this morning. 

Kathy stated it well...we do get discouraged (or at
least I have) once in a while...
even though this is one of my favorite quilts...

So, today I am (seriously) going to pick it up 
(I can see the excitement shaking the tote bag over there 
as I write this lol) 
and just tell myself--
one row just one row.;}}}}
and see what happens.  While I watch the Patriots Game in here....

Thanks so much, Kathy for airing out this frequent quilting problem that
seems to  arise now and then...for me, at least....and cheering us on....
*****************************************************
Sunday dinner tonight will be Thom's (aka hubby, hubster, Dear One, 
Mr. Wonderful) marinara sauce and spaghetti noodles...so nice and light...
and a day off cooking for me YAY!!!
 (yesterday I made Bean soup for our dinner--which is a recipe with many
steps).
He claims his back (which he threw out last Tuesday night)
needs for him to move around and he has a "taste" for
marinara today...Right now he's on the heating pad and doing his computer
stuff--something about plane spotting and ADSB ...urgh!!👴

So you see, no excuses, I just need to get to that hand quilting...
RIGHT???......(stay tuned to see wha' hoppen ;}}} )

hugs, Julierose, La blageuse (slurping noodles-euse) ;)))

*Edited to add:*

2:00 p.m.:
Got a few rows done, anyway before my hands began hurting...
My little scissors magnet kept me company. About 1/3rd of little side triangle...

[Patriots ahead so far....;)))]
