I decided yesterday to take a look at my midget applique blocks for ideas on what to put in the middle of the block from this month. I was thinking a flower..... but when I scrolled through I saw a block with 4 hearts. I liked it, it would be easy to prep and bam, decision made. I cut my heart shape out from a folded piece of paper. Used that to trace onto fabric the outline, cut and placed onto the block. I took it to 1 car line and a guitar lesson yesterday and got it completed!

I am opting not to go to my normal bowling league today since I have had a dry cough and a bit of a sore throat. I feel fine (plenty of energy!) but my league is mainly made up of older ladies - age above 70 and my teammates are 88 and 84 and the other one is 65 and currently going through cancer treatments. They don't need to be exposed to my germs. Hubby has more of a flu bug so just safer for them for me to stay home today.
My goal today is to play with some teal fabrics, finish off hand piecing one or two more of the EMD blocks and maybe pick up the seeds for the garden to keep the kids busy next week while on spring break. Emily would like carrots, watermelon and corn. Aidan wants gourds, pumpkins, summer squash and peppers (he has been successful using seeds from peppers we use). I'll get the salad stuff - lettuce, radish, swiss chard, beets and peas and beans. We will see what decides to come up.

Good decision;))) We have cancelled a family get together for Saturday--out of caution also...postponement is not the end of the world...
Stay safe, feel better and enjoy your sewing...hugs, Julierose--Love those hearts...
we all have to be extra cautious right now don't we - I'm amazed at how many I have been reading on quilting blogs that are still going to big workshops and other groups as it starts to spread around the US. Have fun planting the garden
I wish everyone had that attitude. I think sacrificing a little now is much better than chancing spreading or picking up the virus. A lot of people die each year from complications due to flu, I wish more would get educated about it. Your block is so pretty with kitty and your trip as the backdrop.
I love the way you worded--'we will wait to see what comes up' as that is definitely a garden thing--I always planted by the moon and the farmer's almanac when I was able to have gardens--and most every came up and did well--even orka in NY--no body grew that except me!!!
love the block with the hearts--
luv, di
Your hearts are perfect for that block - I love how you added them! Good luck with your gardening, too! I'm ready for it to be that time of year here, too - but it won't be until May.
The heart block turned out beautifully, definitely an inspired choice. Sorry you've got the flu and other bugs circulating at home. Hope you feel much better soon.
