I took me until 5PM today to finally get my 14 cobblestone blocks sewn and photographed for this post. The light blue joined the bright and light green, orange and teal from the first 3 months. Each cobblestone finishes at 4.5 inches. I had to show off the fresh mopped floor.... before anyone drops stuff on it!
I started off the morning sleeping in! That was a nice change. I worked extra hours this week so the last few days have been long. I did a little facebook meeting with a few quilting blogland friends this morning before I had to log off and spend time with the boy. Our deal - if he vacuums I'd play monopoly with him. Emily was on dusting duty. I have to say - the living room looks nice. While they were doing that I cleaned up the kitchen and cleared off all the shelves (I have a big kitchen) and washed everything down. Floors got handled as well. Then it was monopoly after lunch. Sophie likes to be part of the action when we play games.
This week a lot of time was spent on this one block from Ella Maria Deacon. It is all hand pieced.... with multiple unpicking and redoing. Lots of these - well 8 of them.
Became 2 halves.
Not perfect but done. It needs a press into submission at some point. Since there is light blue, I included it in here today.

pretty blue star!
I bet that Sophie has the most money in the bank--she looks like a very smart kitty!!!
Love all your blocks--and I esp love that last one--
you did alot of stitching on that one--
playing games with the kidlets is always a good thing to do--and I am surprised really that your kids take an interest in cooking and finding recipes for you to try--good for them-
take care--luv, di
Sounds nice to have helpers for those chores - and a game to play together as a treat when you're done, too! Your cobblestone blocks look good all laid out together, and the EMD block is amazing!
Goodness, Deb! You worked extra this week? You still managed lots of progress in Light BLUE!
I really like your cobblestone blocks and love that beautiful blue star block. I’m impressed that it’s all hand pieced.
Wow, you had a varied and productive day today! And I bet it was fun, too. The star is gorgeous, and I love those little blocks at the beginning of your post (of course I can’t remember what you called them). Will they be sewn together as rows or columns?
It's good to get a load of chores done and out o the way. Board games have been become incredibly popular these days. Card games must be next. I recall spending a long weekend playing Canasta. Your blocks look terrific (so does that lovely clean floor - shame it doesn't last).
That star is so impressive! All hand sewn and it fits together! I would never be able to have it fit together in the end, haha! Excellent job! Love it. ;^)
what a lovely blue star...beautiful work on that...
Apricot chicken sounds really good...over rice maybe?
We will be having leftover Am. Chop Suey frpom yesterday tonight--so a non-cooking day for me...
Stay safe your mask-wearing buddy Julierose ;)))
