May blocks finished!
Computer Crashed!
Did it have something to do with the extended power outage?
loving the blue blocks..........you have done well to get these blocks done so early.........hope all the power is restored and things are settling back to normal
Now that is dedication Sammie...love the blue...thinking I'm going to have to make a blue something from the extra projects...hope the power stays back on for you...
very nice and when you have it hanging at Christmas you will remember the lengths you went to to finish these blocks, my eyesight would never hold up by candle light
Sewing by candle light - that is doing it tough!1 Love your blues - I am doing it in blues too - just the same tones as you - but with a variegated blue thread. I am not a SALer - dilly dallyed far too long. Never mind - maybe next time.
These blocks are really nice. I like the blue colour, and that you just use blue, not mix it with other colours. Lovely. Look forward to see the whole quilt sometime before Christmas.
