I did take the part that I was working on with me to California when we were cleaning up my inlaws' home to put on the market, but I ended up only making a little bit of progress. Since then I have wavering between not feeling well and not wanting to sew, to sewing a little bit. I did work on one block from The Splendid Sampler, but I am currently 7 blocks behind in that project too. I just haven't felt like sitting at my machine. I have a feeling that springtime allergies is what's draining me.
My sister in law found this fun quilt (she tried to give it to me, but I told her to keep it since it is by her grandmother). It was hard to get the correct color for the red, but the back was a lot of fun to look at. Taking a peek behind some popped seams, it has a blanket as batting.
I think it's a variation on the Churn Dash. There are fabrics from the 40's through I think the early 60's, including some feedsack prints. It is full of scrappy goodness!
Your GFG is looking so awesome! I have made a little progress on setting mine together, but not a lot! What a cool family treasure on the quilt, funky and fun.
ReplyDeleteI've been feeling too tired to sew for months. It seems like most of what I get done happens at retreats or sewing groups. Then I come home and collapse in the recliner.
ReplyDeleteGetting behind is frustrating. I know the feeling of clearing out a Loved ones house. We are still dealing with stuff my DH brought home. They are just things, but so many memories.
