Just Go Sew

Today a top finished from orphan blocks and backing cut...adorable owls from IKEA

 Guess what I found in my messy sewing room...way after a year...
My block exchange from the Charlotte Modern Quilt Guild.
 I am sure that they were due forever ago.
Grateful I found them at all.
I have the blocks now on the design wall trying to balance value...hmmm a bit on the busy side.
 One beautiful conniver got a new backpack for school.  How could anyone resist??
And boy is she a worker...cleaning up sticks for the lawn mowing experience.
Voila...my sister to the rescue once again...Ten year old Evan's first lawn cutting experience.
I love this link....

Three months a widow and grief is getting worse..
I.guess I am out of the shock stage now...ugh and ugh again.
When grief and the unfairness of life socks it to me...I sew for myself and give to others....
It calms my sea...for awhile.
Thank you for friends and family for lifting me up and holding me tight.
And of course for the comfort of all our dogs and cats.
I promised my dear man that I would carry on.
Maybe now is the time for Rachel's Survival Kit chocolate from Australia!!!!
