This morning started with a very nice service at church, entirely done by the youth. They really did a great job and were composed and very adult in their presentations. I was impressed and hold out great hope with those folks taking over.
And after some left-over pizza for lunch, headed down to my little stitchery cave. Such fun. I was able to finish up some previously begun blocks - part of the block-a-month that's been on hold for several months. I have shown you block one, here are 2 and 3-4,
And then because I have wanted to give this a try, made 3 blocks in a pattern called "Scrap Basket Paddle Wheel". I really made mine scrappy, just digging into my darks box. [The pattern called for a more controlled palate, but also said one could do this - totally random.] Biggest challenge is all the bias edges. Another friend made this and said she just used spray sizing and just sprayed the bejeepers out of the blocks. I didn't do that, but was oh so careful ironing. (please ignore the background - my closet doors are so multi-purpose)
I think they are pretty fun, don't you? The sun has finally come out and it makes all the plants and flowers look so cheerful. Happy Sunday!
