Happy Monday, Friends!
This is a quick post to share my progress on Sewcialites 3. After helping my Mom this weekend, I did indeed get to sit and sew for a while. I completed the last block for Sewcialits 3.
Sparks Block by Jessica Dayon.
I had to scroll back through the Fat Quarter Shop's YouTube videos to find Kimberly's episode about this block. She said blocks 24 here, and 25 were saved until the end because they were the most difficult. I didn't think Jessica's block was difficult. It was just time consuming.
Had to sit back and admire the pile of blocks.
I jumped right into making the 24 setting blocks and laid everything out on the guest bed.
I stacked the rows and labeled them.
I've sewn the rows and will begin putting them together this week. Another plan for this week is to cast on a knitting project...a hat most likely. I've joined a new book club called Hooks and Books. It is hosted by the owners of a yarn store in town. They alternate meeting locations between their shop and one of the used book stores. This Thursday evening the meeting will be held at the book store. We are reading to Practical Magic this month.
I bought a hard copy of the book but I'm listening on Audible. I can do that while sewing, cross-stitching or walking at the lake.
We got a lot of rain Saturday from Hurricane Isaias but nothing damaging, thank goodness. I hope if any of you were in the storm's path that you were safe and did not suffer any damage to your property. Gene, I'm especially concerned about you in Alabama! Let us know how you are doing.
That is my weekend in a nutshell. I'll be back on Friday with a cross-stitch update. In the meantime, have a great week.
Linking up with Melva Loves Scraps Sew & Tell.
See you soon,
