Yes, it is true. I have been absent from blogland since July. I haven't sewn a stitch either. I am a middle school teacher who doesn't have a prep period this year. I am also teaching new things so it takes considerable time to create a new curriculum. Anyway, I AM BACK!
I started sewing again this week and made up these blocks for a Christmas gift quilt. It will be a small one and these blocks are very big - 16 inches. I still need to make two stars and finish one. The star/flower blocks have curved edges that I turn over and hand stitch down. I have not yet started that.
My November goals:
1. The quilt shown above. It is my One Monthly Goal to completely finish this quilt - piecing, quilting, binding.
2. Complete the last row in my Dear Jane quilt. Just ONE MORE ROW LEFT! YAY! Now, that does not include the border but I am not going to piece the border. I am only going to use colored triangles.
