Outside my window

I love spring but it may be slowly killing me this year. I am doing things, I am just not getting them done. We had some sunshine for a couple of hours this weekend but it wasn't enough to wake me up.
Sorry if you're missing me here, hopefully I'll be back soon.

A Fork in the Road

I've come to one. When I started making hexagons 6 months ago, it was just to see if I liked the process. I love hand sewing (sorry I do) and I was on board with the take along aspect of these things. I liked it. Then I got busy and they got buried. Literally. Fast forward to coming across Texas Freckles and her quilt along.

So here is my delimma. Do I go on as I started or do I allow myself to be completely taken in by her charms. You see, she is doing a hexagon charm quilt. That is where no two fabrics are alike. By her calculations I will need 1,173 to make a quilt approx 50 x 59. I really want to be commited to finishing this quilt. I just don't want to be commited, I've got a grandchild on the way for goodness sake. Poor child.... I had a gramma but she went crazy making hexagons.......

Of course this could be like my coffee addiction. I talk about intervention but when I comes down to it, if you tried, I might have to kill you. Maybe I've made my choice. Hmmm, crazy gramma it is.

Sunday

Why I like to sit at the Schwabengarten.....I can sew. Everyone looks at me funny but I just don't care. K, today it was not crowded with people because it was raining but I sew there all the time. Well at least twice a week.... This is where I spend time making my little hexes. One day they'll be quilt... or a pillow.
