Good Monday morning! I am back from a few days at the cabin for a family reunion. It was so nice to spend time with family in the cooler weather of Northern Arizona:)
Now that I am back, I have had time to finish the checkerboard blocks for my Long Time Gone Quilt. They were so quick and fun to make! I loved using my leftover scraps to whip them out:)
I listened to a book as I sewed and chain pieced away:). It is kind of therapeutic to sew and listen to a book. It is one of life’s greatest pleasures!
My handy Cutting Gizmo made light work of cutting apart the chains.
Ah, the beauty of a finished section:)!
I stacked all of my finished blocks together and just looked at them with a happy smile on my face:) :). I just love neatly stacked quilting blocks, don’t you?
And here they are laid out in no particular order. They are ready to be sewn together this week. I can’t believe it! This quilt is almost done. It is soon to be Long Time Gone….
This quilt is made from the Long Time Gone Quilt pattern by Jen Kingwell. I am using a mix of Cotton and Steele fabrics and fabrics from my stash. Sewing along with the Gnome Angel sew along has kept me on a schedule that has really helped.
I hope your day is a SWEET one filled with people you love and time for a creative adventure or two!
It's a T-Sweets day!
