a block a day

i've chosen not to quilt much for quite a while as i attended to other parts of my life. i don't regret that. but lately i've felt the pull to quilt again. i still have some other major life projects that need a lot of attention, but i have decided to squeeze in a little quilting as well, sort of as a break from the other things. maybe i can't do an hour a day like i once could, but i think i can manage a block a day on a few projects. 

i have two projects just perfect for a quick fix on a daily basis: "sunny crossroads" and "cute betsy hearts." i have fabric piles pulled for each and even some parts already cut.

this week, in addition to the bears i already shared, i managed to make 3 sets of crossroads blocks and two more hearts.

that feels pretty good!

i also realized today just what horribly bad condition my sewing room is in. it needs help desperately. frankly, it's overwhelming and i don't want to deal with it. any time i start trying to fix things it's a vicious cycle of shifting things around and never knowing what to do first.

so i've committed to putting away at least 5 fabrics every day before i sew. baby steps.

i had a few visitors today while i was taking my moment. 

and i also spent time working on another project because my kitchen design work wasn't going well at all. so i took a real break and just quilted like i used to.

i'll share more on that soon.
