Finally getting caught up. . . .

Several posts ago I mentioned that I was in desperate need of catching up with a couple of swaps that I am in. . . unfortunately that has taken me more time than I even thought possible.

I think part of my downfall was that two blocks required appliqued circles. . . and I'm not very good at the "A" word.

However, as of today I have mailed out 6 of the 9 block packets that I needed to get caught up with. . .here are pictures of the blocks:









I do have to admit. . . .I just don't "get" this fascination with "wonky". . . the fad doesn't seem to be going away & it is entirely possible that the remaining 3 packages will include more "wonky" blocks to be done so I'll have to deal with more of it.

While I love scrappy quilts I like to have the blocks as uniform as possible. . .and wonky just looks like a mish-mash to me.

I have seen quilts that look wonderful, but they just aren't my style. . . and I'll be happy if I never have to make another one after I get these obligations done.

In peace and pieces,

Back from Vacation!

Ok, so it's June 6th. . .and I'm back from a weeks vacation in lovely Williamsburg, Virginia.

Yup, spent a total of 9 days away from the house & I have the tan to prove it (not to mention the sunburn on my two arms that will make getting dressed for work tomorrow interesting!!).

This was the first trip with the new trailer & it was lovely. So much more room than the old one that came with DH. . . and the slide out living room provides even more room! yippee

We spent several days in Colonial Williamsburg, then a day each at Jamestown Settlement and Yorktown Victory --- much more American history than I usually like to get involved in but DH was having a good time so it was fun.

But if only it hadn't been so darn hot & humid (there wasn't a day away that was less than 92 degrees. . . and this past Friday was at least 100 degrees (if not more)!!

I have pictures, I'm just too tired to look for the camera right now. . . will try to get to that tomorrow.



In peace and pieces,
