Long Time, No Sew
It seems like forever since I've sewn anything. I really haven't spent any time in my sewing room since last Friday. We had a huge sale on Monday and Tuesday of this week, and I've been too tired to do much of anything. Today was my day off and I spent most of it in bed with a headache. Major bummer...
We got a new pattern in at the shop - it's called Twist and Shout and is done by Pat Speth (of Nickel Quilts fame). Pat has begun publishing stand alone patterns based on nickel squares.
I was really drawn to this pattern - so I began rummaging in my stash and came up with this background fabric. I bought it at the guild garage sale and it's only 36" wide. No telling how old it is. Then I started digging in my "reds" - trying to come up with 32 reds in pieces big enough for the blocks. I have no business starting a new project, but I'm telling myself that this can be a new leaders/enders project for me. At least I'm busting stash, right?I'm tired of coughing and ready to be at 100% again. I miss my sewing machine.

I like that pattern, I'll have to put it on my wish list for our spring shop hop. Busting stash is good and you definately should have a leader ender project started. Your logic makes perfect sense!!
Neat pattern! That cough, cold headache thing is going around here in Indiana also! Get plenty of rest and take care!
oh, this pattern looks such fun! who could resist? Love the reds...hope you feel better by the time you read this!
I really like this little jewel, thanks for sharing.
And ... get well!
What a fun quilt!
