good afternoon! i hope you have had a wonderful start to April…we had a little snow and rain today…and at one point i thought i heard thunder or maybe just a loud truck or a train.
i’ve been working on Lucy for over 91 weeks now. how is it possible i have been working on it that long? I am loving these early blocks…the colors are so pretty and some of the prints are no longer available so its a pleasure to work with them again.
today i worked all this morning to get the final block of the 3rd row on…and i did! so after a quick trip to the post office i thought i better share!
i think block 16 and 21 may be in my top favorites…or maybe my row 3 favorites!
the day is winding down around here…but we do have a few things on the agenda…
**30’s section got a new coat of paint…we opted for a retro-ish pink color which really looks nice with the retro fabrics and makes the section look huge! just have to figure out the layout for the fabrics and where to put the quilts.
**Susanna’s Scrapbag (our cherry-picked prints) will be arriving on thursday.
**Scrumptious 4-Patch Tiny Tote…we are still waiting on the twill tape to finish this up…look for it later this week.
**Sweet Violet fat quarter bundles.
**a little rearrange in the floral section since i have half the Lucy blocks in my bag.
**a little rearrange in the civil war section to showcase Rockets’ Red Glare and make room for Susanna’s Scrapbag.
**new civil war fat 16th bundles made the agenda since someone nabbed the last one last night and was sent to its new home today, so i’d better get cutting.
happy stitching! —april&mickey
