I’m joining Kat & the Unravelers for Unraveled Wednesday!
KNITTING:
Nothing new here.
QUILTING:
I made my sewed together my third & fourth quilt blocks last night which were previewed the other day!
Here’s how that Disappearing Nine Patch sliced up & got rearranged.
And the Squared In pansy block.
The day I can both cut and sew in a straight line will be one worth celebrating. haha.
Here are the four blocks that I’ve completed so far! They won’t be arranged like this & they won’t be all jammed up together in the end, but it really helps to see them all together so I can make fabric/pattern choices for the next one or two or three. I have homework!!
READING:
Continuing (bedtime pages): No Time on My Hands by Grace Snyder.
George Saunders’ Vigil on audio. I have one more chapter… and then I might start all over again!
It’s been a weird week, y’all. I ended up going to work yesterday morning because of a domain expiration due to a credit card expiration and because of such, we were getting no email. So, I ended up going to work on all three of the days I would normally have had off last weekend! Oh well. On top that that, Rusty returned from a long (work) weekend in Todos Santos & his flight didn’t arrive until 11p — last night! So, after quilt class, I drove down to Milwaukee, arriving at 9p, and snoozed in my car for a couple of hours — well, an hour, maybe — after I caught up on all my Crossplay games & messages. I must have actually fallen asleep, though, because my alarm woke me up! And I didn’t have to work ALL day yesterday, so I was able to get in a little nap in the afternoon, too.

I love each of those blocks, such great colors! I’m sorry you had to work all three days you were supposed to be off, but I do hope you get some other days off instead and can use it to do something fun (maybe sew more quilt blocks?)
Those quilt blocks are fabulous. My hat is off to you. Nothing says love like picking someone up at the airport at 11:00 p.m. but of course I’d do it too.
Cutting and sewing in a straight line is overrated! I hope Rusty realizes how lucky he is. When my husband gets in on a late flight, he has to drive himself home!
Gorgeous squares, Vicki! The colors are awesome (and I really like the disappearing 9-patch!) I am excited to see your next blocks! And go you for heading to MKE to pick up Rusty that late! Yikes!
Those blocks are fabulous and your triangles have very nice points which is not an easy thing to accomplish! Schedule disruptions like that are rough but it sounds like you are making the best of it.
I’m so sorry about the work woes . . . I hope you get some solid time off now. And sleep! (I’ve done those inconvenient airport pick-ups plenty of times. It’s a hassle. But it’s also . . . love.) But, oh Vicki! Those squares! I just love the colors! So happy — they make me smile. Here’s to a restful weekend. XO
I don’t ordinarily Comment here, Vicky, but those colors are too fabulous not to respond to. Pink, especially, always has my heart. A joy!
