A Few Grey Scraps

I'm sure some of you have been wondering if I had given up blogging or if something had gone terribly wrong in my life. I have not given up blogging, and the biggest thing that's wrong is too many hours of work = not enough time to quilt. No time to quilt also means nothing to share on this quilting blog. Thanks for hanging in there while I try to get back to a regular schedule of posts.

Last weekend I spent three nights in Chicago for work. I optimistically took my Singer Featherweight along, plus a couple of quilt projects, thinking I could get lots of sewing done in the evenings after working during the days. It was harder than I expected to work up any energy for quilting at night, but I did manage to make a few 3D Folded Box blocks for my current Rainbow Scrap Challenge project. One of our color options for August was shades of grey.

  4. Your Folded Box blocks look GREAT in Gray!! Glad you found some time to sew, along with the necessary energy to accomplish the task.

  5. In this color scheme I just noticed that the five blocks form a cross, very exciting. It's fun to find these secondary patterns, especially accidental ones.

  6. Glad you had energy to stitch ... Work tends to drain away so many brain cells along with energies/mojo ...

  8. Traveling with a sewing machine is always a great plan. Glad you got some beautiful blocks done on the trip.

  9. Beautiful blocks. I always feel like I work harder when I'm on a business trip than when I put in a day at the office. It's hard to want to do much then, so you did really well.
