And that is exactly what it has been…..a LITTLE of this and a LITTLE of that. My arm is still not good and I have had a bad cold the last week. So things have been done veeeeeeeeeery slowly the last week.
Last weekend I was together with some friends at another cabin trip. Because of my bad arm I just brought a little bit of sewing with me. Had to take care of my arm, but I wanted to do a little bit sewing. Thought machine sewing would be ok this time. So I brought with me fabric to sew a few blocks for my new project. I got this book from Hanne for my birthday last september and I loved this quilt at once I saw it. When visiting the Back Door Quilt in Indianapolis I saw the quilt and bought a lot of fabrics for it. Now it was time to start sewing this quilt.
During the weekend I was able to sew six blocks. So you understand I really did take care of my arm and just relaxed.
During this week I have sewn some more blocks and this is how my design wall…..eh design doors looks like now. Still some more blocks to sew.
Just a little bit needleturn this week.
and a little bit quilting on this quilt.
But I have been reading a lot of wonderful books, and when this book came in my mailbox I was sold. Love this book and the quilt on the front page.
and I love baskets……
and I love circles.
I just have to be patient and take it slowly to heal my arm. But I am not patient. There is so much I want to do and to sew !!!! But I will be a clever girl now and take it slooooooowly.
Saying for today:

Wonderful and inspiring sewing going on at your place
your book looks great! I love those start blocks - Ohio star?
I love the blocks you have made for the new quilt. The colours are lovely too. Good to hear that you are taking care of your arm but it must be very frustrating for you. LOve the book!
good to see you are able to do a little stitching and that you are doing as you are told and not over using the arm. At least it gives you time to catch up on some reading and not do too much housework!
Carolyns book looks amazing, I hope you feel well enough to start some of her projects soon.
Gorgeous projects....and you must not push it May Britt...take care..
Your little bit of stitching is wonderful. Sorry to read that your not feeling well. Hope you're feeling like jumping through hoops soon.
