New projects to bolster quarantine.

Another week has gone by.  The good news: spring is starting to warm us up a little: more like up to high 40s and into 50s midday.  The sun, oh the sun. It does a body good. To see it, to feel it and soak up the rays even through the windows. 

And as I am sure you all are feeling the quarantine: so am I.  Ugh.  I have only gone to the grocery once this week. But I have gone for a couple of walks. It is hard to sit, and have to work on the computer. It drags on.  But  we are getting used to it. Dare I even say that when we have a month more.

I have done a little sewin

Last week I mad this heart out of a varigated swath of fabric. The pattern from guild was wanting 4 shades and I just couldn't get the middle shades to be very different. So I made a second block and then substituted a couple pieces to make them variances a little better.

Then I got hte bright idea to make other colors and prepare a snuggle lap quilt for an agency my husband works with: Healing Hearts. The name is perfect.

Before COVID 19, My DH would attend a dinner for families of relatives who have died or are incarcerated. Then they divide into smaller age groups for some sharing and activities. 

And I bought more colors to make:

Plus I am using this as my Hands to Help quilt for Confessions of a Fabric Addict.

So I have  few more colors to sew and some white to purchase to spread the blocks out.

I really like the blocks.  Making a total of 12 blocks from  colors.

My only other project I have actually worked on is this springy hexie quilt. 

Now, I have pieced the layers into fence, dots, hexie panel and a second go round.

It was a McCalls kit from a magazine.  I bought in online.

But I really wanted to make some additional hexie flowers to add in between.

Slowly, slowly. I am using solids to go with the panel.
