It has been a week of getting not much done at all. But I have a legitimate excuse (or three). For about three weeks I've been feeling...sore. Just in my tummy, sometimes my back, but enough that I was worried. I went to the doctor and even had a scan, and it appears I'm fine! Just not feeling right. Hmm. I'll be a bit more mindful of my exercise and perhaps see a chiropractor. Couldn't hurt, might help, and I'm so ready to be 110% again.
And then, THEN, I was peeling Piper's little arm up to check under them (I do everyday) and under her right arm it looked like a Sarlacc! (Well, maybe not that bad.) But man, it was angry and red and yucky. I thought it might be thrush so I took her in to our wonderful doctor straight away and the doctor took a swab and prescribed antibiotics because she reckoned it is bacterial! Eek! I'm glad I've obsessive about cleaning/checking Piper every day and even happier that I took her to the doctor first thing, before it got worse. Even after just two doses of the antibiotic she is feeling better, more restful, and sleeping soundly. Poor lambkin.
So after all that, this WIP Wednesday is pretty pathetic. Sorry guys!
So this WIP is one of my OLDEST projects. I started repainting these thrifted chair frames back in 2010. THe seat cushions have been reupholstered and I absolutely adore the chairs, but with only one coat of green paint they looked frightful.
They look better now but it needs to stop raining long enough for me to do a few more coats!
In Progress:
Sophie Makes Tracks HSTs are sewn, pressed, and stacked...now I am just sewing them into the right configurations!
Pretty, aren't they?
Garden Fence: 15/49 blocks completed
I can't wait to finish them and square and sash these bad boys!
Lolly Fields is about 80% hand-quilted. Love that variegated thread.
I will use a plain thread on the crazy chain setting triangles, however.
Sophie Makes Tracks: 6/81 blocks completed. I'm happy to take this one slow and do it right though.
New quilts: None, but lots of ideas percolating!
No progress:
- A Walk in the Woods
- Ultraviolet
- Rose Garden
- (Un)Happy Campers
- Downtown Dots
If you are a Sydneysider and a modern quilter, perhaps I'll see you Sunday at the Modern Quilt Guild meeting! Come say hi. I'm the one with the baby and the pink and brown bag!
How are your WIPs going? Let me know!
Cheers and have a great rest of the week!
