I'm addicted

There hasn't been a lot of sewing being done around here....some, but not a lot.  There's been more fabric and pattern acquisition though (like I really NEED any more of either); I'm beginning to believe that my addiction isn't to quilting as much as it is to the collecting of fabrics and patterns.  I think I need an intervention.  But, on the bright side, it's keeping me off the street corners and out of the bars so it must be a good thing, right?

Blocks and rows sewn together on my "Buzzsaw"...a Craftsy.com class taught by Kimberly Eimo.

It's not very big, but it will be closer to the size I want once I add borders.  

In making the Buzzsaw block, you draw a line from corner on the back of a pair of 10" blocks and sew on that line ( a concept that gave me a little grief), then cut 1/4" away from that seam/ stitching line.  You only use that part of the 10" square...which seems like a big waste of fabrics until later when she shows how to turn them into pinwheel blocks, which I finished doing last night; today's plan is to finish squaring up those blocks before sewing them into rows and then a quilt top.

During all of this, I found a pattern that I had used many years ago, but I don't know what happened to that quilt.  Contacted my daughter's who said that their quilts were packed away but that it didn't look like one they had. 

It was starting to bug me, so I pulled out all of the quilts from my closet and went through them one by one - nope, not there either so it must have been one that I gave to a charity.  Will just have to make a second one - to keep this time.

It's an Edyita Sitar pattern ...I  just needed the paper triangle pieces again, so I ordered them and they arrived yesterday.

Since I had all of my quilts out and have no intention of keeping most of them ( will talk about that later), I  decided to go through them and separate them into keep/ don't keep piles.  

Here's the don't keep pile...

Sometime this week, I  want to work on my Aug RSC2022...and still have a COVID quilt block to finish.

This is the one I finished the other day; just trying to decide how/if I want to fill in the letters.

My sunflower "gift" from the critters my son and I feed.  Bought some new pots yesterday so I have some transplanting to do sometime this week.

Right now,, Buddy is letting me know that it's (past)time for his  morning walk - and here I sit, still in my nightgown.  Guess I'd better go.

Take care
