My days do seem to fly by, I spend several hours most days working on customer quilts. As much as I love that I also really love piecing quilts.
Joining Tara Faughnans block studies this season has been a fantastic addition to my quilting practice with both learning a new block and playing with a palette of her choosing it really does make for great fun in my life.
I will share more but for now these are a couple of my blocks from the first month that I plan to mount on canvas.
Other samples that I have made are earmarked for some other fun ideas.
My Small world quilt blocks almost fill my design wall and my postage stamp quilt continues to have a few blocks pieced and is slowly being completed.
A friend of mine suggested trying an eye pillow at bedtime made with flax seed and lavender…so I did make myself one and a few more for others…
With the winter months approaching there should be more time for studio play.
We are so wealthy in Grandchildren and have had the pleasure of their company and all the fun and joy that they bring with them!
On a personal note and adding to what I have written in previous posts…. A year ago tomorrow I made a decision to remove certain things from my diet. Alcohol was one and following that dispite for the most part eating a healthy diet I have made changes and tweaked it to better match my health and wellbeing goals.
There is so much to learn about food and it’s not always easy to navigate away from ultra processed foods but it is worth the effort. The Yuka app has been very helpful.
Adding more exercise and learning more about what we women need at my stage of life for bone,muscle and heart health has been enlightening as well! I have so much fabric and so many ideas that healthy longevity is a big time personal goal.
So to that some personal progress gifts!
