Like a lot of folks it has been hard to focus on any particular project and I really wanted to work on something mindless. One would think these butterflies were mindless but for some reason I had issues with them.
I then decided to make a few Shoo-Fly blocks that is the Quiltville Leader/Ender project that started in 2019. I am not really a leader/ender kinda quilter as it takes too much planning ahead. I like to cut a little and then sew a little. I sometimes wonder if my method for sewing comes from the fact that I learned to piece and quilt by hand and I would make blocks one at a time. I used the scraps from my butterflies to make the corners.
I then thought about making a French Roses quilt in aquas. The bonus of a hand sewing project is I can binge watch shows on Netflix/Amazon Prime, lol, and pay attention to what is actually going on.
Finally, I found something that was fun to work on although I don't know where this project will go. When Judy from Busy Hands Happy Hands shared her OMG accomplishment I knew I had to try the bunny pattern.
I am off to give myself a haircut which should be quite entertaining and it is good that I am not going out right now, lol! I have clippers and scissors and thankfully love super short hair. Wish me luck because it is going to be a comedy of errors.
Cheers,
Debi
Bunnies are very cute, and so are the butterflies, but I am sure you have worked out there needs to be a little unpicking there :( but I guess that is good for doing in front of netflix hey! I love your applique rose, that is a great pattern and a great idea for RSC blocks.
ReplyDeleteThanks Sue, lol I have looked at those butterflies off and on and never noticed. I seem to have issues with butterflies.
DeleteI thought that bunny pattern was cute too. Glad you gave it a go. Looks great! Now about that haircut ... how about a before & after photo!!??! Lol!
