Starting Quilters Patch- Cosmos

 One of my Facebook groups has a sew along that started back in January with this book. I am a bit late to the party but did plan on making it along with them. I purchased the 9+ yards of backing last fall in preparation for it. The rest will come from the fabric wall.  I'm happy to say that I got my first block completed on Sunday! 



My Cosmos blocks have lots of pieces but came out pretty well. Linda is way ahead on this one making a block every couple of weeks. I'll try and 'catch up' a bit. I'll shoot for one block a week. I think that will be manageable with the kids heading back to school on the 10th. That will give me more car time and less machine time after working. Don't worry, I have 3 hand work projects that I can take in the car with me. I remember the first few weeks of pick up line are terrible with the waiting times. I'll have one in high school and one in middle school but the schools are next to each other. I have informed the older one he gets to walk to the car in the middle school line despite him getting out of school 20 minutes earlier than his sister.

January sew along....

 I'm in a facebook group where they will be working on this quilt next year. It was a quick decision to join in and I ordered the book. The starting date is in January and I 'should' be prepping fabrics for it. I think I 'really' need to just get the background whites and I 'think' I can pull the rest from my stash.



Feeling better but still bothered by a head cold. It is swapping between my ears and my nose.  According to my facebook memories - I seem to always get a head cold around this time of the year and it lasts a couple of weeks. Sigh.... well, at least I am consistent!
Instead of working on what I should be.... I think I'll pop on a movie and work on crocheting Emily's afghan that is only 2 years in the making. Since I got her brother's quilt enlarged it is time to get a finish for her now.
