I'm Alive!!!

WooHoo!!! There were moments that I didn't think that I would make it, but thank goodness I did...lol Thank you for all the sweet comments about my Peppermint Twist quilt. It really does mean a lot to me!
I didn't sew much this week because it's hard to run a machine or even a needle and thread with you are coughing, sneezing, whining, feverish, achy, etc....but I did get my Seven Sister's block done for the Civil War block of the week.

Don't look too closely at the points, I think I was starting to get sick as I was working on it. Also the background reads much more blue than in the photo.
Also got my flying geese units done for Lori's quilt along.

I think Lori will post the next step today! Yeah! You can get the links to both of the above mentioned blogs on my left sidebar.
Then the fever hit and I didn't do anything...which drives me crazy because I am always doing something! But I did eventually feel better and I worked on my little heart blocks for Scandinavian Christmas (see side bar).

These blocks make me smile and they are so quick. I also had some embroidery prepared and I pulled that out and stitched.

I don't know if I've shown it before, but it's a little red & white (of course!) Christmas quilt by HugsnKisses. Has anyone else had trouble with black and red variegated DMC floss? I've used lots of DMC floss and lots of variegated, but this stuff is awful. It knots and twists and frays like crazy. It came with the kit, but I don't think I'll buy that particular thread again.
Well I'm off to work for a little while today, but I hope to have some serious time for sewing this weekend. No bread was made last week :( and we all missed it, so I'll probably be making bread this weekend. Have a good day! ranette
