Back to Normal

 We had a two day week at school.  Such a nice way to ease everyone back in, but there is still that feeling that more needs to be done.   There is testing next week, so lots of time will be spent not doing anything.   I have been trying to get my steps in on those days.  It is pretty easy to get in lots of walking in circles while the kids are busy bubbling in multiple choice responses.   

Here is this morning's sunrise.  Sydney will be headed back to school early this morning.  The minute she is out the door I will be moving back into my sewing space again and getting it set up in a semi-permanent configuration.  Tennis was cancelled for Kurt, so I think he might be able to get the bathroom mostly finished.   I will need to get it painted after that, but hopefully the major construction phase will be finished soon.   

    

In addition to lots of hand quilting, I've been working on these tiny blocks.   I have used a combination of traditional and paper piecing so far.  The blocks are so small that they go together in under half an hour from start to finish.   

What are your sewing plans for blue?   I put a blue binding onto one of my almost finished quilts from last year.  The extra  bits of blue made it into that tiny Economy block in the lower right hand corner of the photo.   I think collecting together all of my blue from all the nooks and crannies will be at the top of the to do list.   Use misterlinky below to let us know how your blues are starting out this year.
