Sewing at Last!!

22 11 2010

After working 51.5 hours this week, with my first day off in nearly two weeks going to be Thanksgiving, I finally broke my no-sew streak.

OMG. BLISS.

I always forget how much sewing clears my mind and makes me feel better. It’s so cathartic and freeing. I really need to remember to schedule some time each day to just do this.

Anyway, what did I break my no-sew-streak with? The Christmas Cactus Quilt Along! But not in either of the color ways I had originally decided on…

I know. Pretty boring so far, right? Just the brown and white… But throw in some pink and orange.

Oh, but then there’s a light blue fabric with brown micro dots!

Two days, four copies of six blocks. I’m taking the tact of piecing my HSTs as I need to. That’s because I just KNOW that I’ll end up missing a bunch. But I do have a bunch of 2″ and 3″ squares stuffed in a baggie that I can pull out and sew when I’m ready to.
