Digging for Gold

Yesterday, Saturday, I spent part of the day in my sewing room.  Admittedly, I wasn't doing much, am not capable of doing much, but I had fun piddling around in there.

Off of a shelf I pulled a fold of fabric.  It was a pillowcase made for me by my Secret Elf in 2008.  Inside that pillowcase were six blocks.


I love these blocks.  I definitely want to make more of them.  I emailed my friend and she found the pattern she used to make them. 

I've seen these set two ways:  like I have them laid out here with sashings and cornerstones, and also on point to look like a heart.  Both were adorable.

Anyway, I'm going to do more "scooting and twirling" today to get fabric pulled to make more of these when I'm ready able to sew again.

BTW, "scooting and twirling" is a highly scientific quilting term.  You sit in your rolling chair and scoot and twirl it around to access things at that height!

Hey at least you are feeling well enough to be able to fondle fabric and plan. I hope each day gets where you can do more and more.

Careful but we do all know how healing just fondling the fabric can be!

Glad you were connected to a sewing project at least through fabric! What a beautiful bunch of blocks there. Healthy healing bone kind of thoughts flowing towards you from here!

So good to see you feeling like doing a little. I know you won't do too much, right?
