Quilters Block

I think I've beat quilters block. For the past month or so, I've felt like all sewing has been a chore and I've fought going to the machine. But I think I have it beat! Yesterday I started cutting up more scraps. I put them together last night and I even started quilting them. Don't get excited, I just quilted in a grind.

I get a great sense of accomplishment using scraps. It's almost the same feeling I get when I get a really dirty pan clean or finish all the house work. A sense of pride and accomplishment, nothing beats it!
Yesterday I also meet up with my friend Gail and we spent hours sewing and talking. It has been awhile since I went to sew with her as I was without wheels. She was ever brave enough to seat in my car and take a ride to one of the quilt shops. She's still breathing and didn't get whiplash, so all is well!

She has been working on these applique, sashiko blocks. She was prepping a new block. The next block is a lily. Last year we both took a class from the author. Gail has done half of her blocks and I haven't even finished my one. What was I saying about quilters block?
Gail also showed up with some scraps (that I "borrowed") and a charm pack. I quickly whipped that pack into a small quilt and added borders.
Tomorrow you'll see how I quilted this one. It's too cute! Hopefully some little girl will love it.

That's all for now, I need to get back to that machine!

Take care, Brandie
