Sewing.....I did some big quilt wrangling and wrestling to get the wonky courthouse steps quilted! What a chore this one was. Or it could be the wrist and hand pain just made it seem that way. Anyway, it is done and ready for a wash.
My blocks are 8'' and the quilt finished up at about 64'' by 80''.
I began the blocks in the fall of last year, and just used whatever was in the string and scrap bins. Collectively, everything comes together so well.....as long as you are 3 feet away! Lol.
The tutorial is from Bonnie Hunter at Quiltville....she called them crooked courthouse steps.
I am now sewing rows together on the "keeping my sanity during the pandemic" sting quilt. This is a much smaller project! The blocks I am working with here are 4 ''. I intended these to create a wall hanging, so we will see what happens as I progress.
We have had big storms, lots of rain, cool days, and now warmer spring days of sunshine. I have had a teleconference doctor visit, a physical visit for the eye doctor, cancelled appointments, and not a single trip to the store. How life changed in a few days and now lasting over 7 weeks of stay at home, I think.
The one thing I truly miss.....the one thing I really need.....a hair cut! I am so hoping that the salon will open up soon. I can order a lot online, but haircuts are not offered that way. I have threatened to just shave my head and be done with it all, but Sir Old Man told the hairdresser and she gave me a lecture and a half. And as soon as this quilt is washed and dried, A short nap will be needed.
Happy stitching. Stay safe and well.
