Everything I do in the sewing room has to do with this quilt. It has consumed me to the point of no return. I can't think of another project, well, that's not entirely true~I'm in a block exchange. But this quilt is all I think about.
Never would I have chosen this project if not for the encouragement from the ladies in my Civil War Club. I discovered a love for reproduction fabric prints and I look confidently at the advance skill level patterns which I never would have done before. Have you noticed all the books and informational material that is showing up on the Civil War period? Or maybe it's me but that is all I see anymore.
Well, back to the quilt~I have finished all of the full-size alternating blocks with ease...
except for this one, Block 17, the last one. I stitched the whole thing before I realized it was backwards. I had to unpick and sew it again. There has to be a block which wants more attention especially when it is one of many of the same but #17 humbled me.
Once again you, my friends, have shown me a kindness and warmth that is deeply appreciated. Who would have thought such friendships could be made through cyberspace, unseen yet as real as if you were here in person. Just think how we exchange information so quickly. I guess I'm just trying to say that I am happy you're my friends.
Luv y'all :-)
