Weekend Happenings

I’m still not feeling like doing much. I try to keep up with laundry and housework the best I can, but I might be losing the battle. I did some reorganization at my shop—Betty is helping me with that—but it is going to take some time to get it all done. Right now, I feel like we are moving stuff from one pile to another. I have found some long-forgotten projects that need to be finished, but I can’t seem to find the energy to work on them. I found this kit that I thought I might start

It’s not too big, and it uses the civil war reproduction fabrics. I have all the pieces ironed and ready to cut. Maybe I can start this afternoon. 

Last night I worked some more on the scrappy improv blocks.

I think I only need about 12 more. I really just need to push through and get it done. But again, I can’t seem to find the motivation to do it. 

The Port Lavaca quilt guild had their show Friday and Saturday. I took my mom to Sugarland on Friday to get a cardiac ablation. We’re hoping it will prevent all the a-fib issues she has been having. Saturday morning I was able to go to the quilt show. I thought the attendance was generally disappointing, but hopefully they did better on Friday. I bought a kit to make a casserole carrier, and I would like to get that made soon. I can definitely use a casserole carrier for church functions. I took pictures of some of the quilts, but not all. I wasn’t finding much inspiration, but I think it’s because of my mood more than anything. They did have a display of some antique quilts that I appreciated. 

The one on the right in the last picture is from the 1870’s, so definitely worth seeing. The one beside it with the hexagons is actually made of yo yo’s, and I thought it was very interesting. I will post some more pictures tomorrow of the present-day quilts I liked.
