Treating myself to a cup of tea and taking a spin around the block toying with the idea of adding a new blog to follow. Happened to land on this one and decided to go for it as I have a whole cup of tea in front of myself. Scrolled way down and ended up on July 14th (today is September 29th). This post is the first one I read. I was chuckling thru the entire post. We always taught out now grown boys...4... “everything you do either directly or indirectly impacts those around you”! This is a great example.<br /><br />My normal state of mind is upbeat and rarely does things get me down. Yesterday we ventured out as a dear couple was celebrating their 50th Anniversary. Tho I was very good with my restrictions (I’m a registered nurse) as my injury is a small torn muscle in my anterior thigh muscle, I definitely stressed it yesterday. Therefore little sleep and a late start today. Not feeling my usual bright cheerful self, now after reading and chortling all the way through, I just can’t remain ‘down’. Was starting to feel sorry for myself as yesterday showed me that I won’t be up to attending the first of 10 weeks at Open Quilting at our High School. Adult Education program. OMG I just can’t thank you enough for this post. It was just what I needed to get back on track and happy quilting. Now I am looking forward to reading the rest of your posts up and including September. <br /><br /><br /><br /><br /><br />QuiltGramhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/02454901066670193031noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3697842410896958739.post-37813805196455839892019-07-14T08:59:31.370-05:002019-07-14T08:59:31.370-05:00Fabulous block for low volume fabrics!

I started these blocks today. I've spent the last several hours just cutting 2" strips to length. Your quilt is going to look fantastic. What is really neat is that your quilt won't look like mine and neither of ours will look like the original.

It's definitely a different color palette than your typical one(or mine either), but sure fun to play with. I like looking at your low volume fabrics up close - you have good ones!
