Comfort and Joy

For the last few days, between shoveling snow and chipping ice, we have enjoyed putting our feet up relishing the last of our days off, and I've picked up Minnie again for a bit. This is always my go to project when I don't have anything that's ready to sew at the machine and a real treat to work on.












Interestingly, I kept finding blocks in various stages of completion - I had them tucked all over the house, it seems - so I worked at getting them all into one spot and more diamonds sewn together. Three more were added to the pile.












There are also now two more four-diamond blocks that are ready for a border...















and one four-diamond block that the outer border was added to.















Of course, there were times when sustenance was required to keep energy levels up...















We've still got a couple of days of vacation and lots of football to enjoy, so Minnie will be close at hand. I hope that you are finding some quiet time to stitch, now and throughout the coming year. Happy New Year everyone!....M

love your diamond shaped hexies - I finished up mine last February and then started another hexie project almost immediately - love hexies!

Love those little diamonds. They remind me I have a similar project in the works. I wonder where it is :)

Thanks for sharing with Oh Scrap!

What a beautiful project. I organized my hand stitching projects in one basket next to the couch after finding various pieces all over the house....ha ha.

Minnie continues to grow. It's nice to have a project you can go to when you have some downtime. Glad you found all the little Minnie's that had scattered around the house.
