Seeing Red...

Which is a very good thing!
These beautiful red, orange, purple and pink fabrics are going to be a new adventure for me.
You may be thinking, "Those aren't her kinds of fabrics. Those look like Kaffe fabrics."
If that's what you're thinking, You'd be right. But I have a plan and I need more color and where would you go if not to Kaffe?

I just happened to mention this to a quilting buddy (Pam) on my way out of Costco and on her way in. I  mentioned that I was going shopping for red and orange Kaffe's. And that wonderful friend said, "I have a bag of leftovers that you are welcome to use."
How wonderful is that! Quilting friends are the BEST!
Thank you Pam!

So I'm now armed with a basket of color.
Do you remember that hexie of the week I was doing? If you don't that's my fault. I lost my motivation. I wasn't liking my boring color scheme. My original thought was a red and white quilt, because who doesn't love red and white quilts!?
Well this quilt just isn't working. It's flat and super boring.
But after adding a punch of Kaffe, I just bet it won't be boring anymore!

This hexies are going to have to go to the orphan block pile. Hopefully I'll find a use for them or something...

Unfortunately I've been suffering from a pulled back muscle all weekend. Its the kind where it feels as if one leg is shorter than the other and I can't stand straight up. I walk like I have osteoporosis.
It has affected my own weekend, in a bad way. So not much sewing was done.

I do feel a bit better today, I can stand straight, bending not so much. I think the days of being sick and the lack of motion have caught up to me.
Max and I try to take a walk every other day, but with the chill, we've been missing our walks for several days.
It's pretty bad when you have to work up to more than a mile. I turn around when I feel the coughing coming.
So now with the tender back, I haven't managed walking farther than the car and back into the house. I'm pathetic!
But I'm keeping a positive outlook and I'm going to get better!

Anyway, I unpicked and re-sewed my green egg. Haha, I should have just started over! I unpicked all but one piece.
But I'm happy with it now and next I'm going to frame it, I think...

So there you have it, my weekend report.
Take care, Brandie
