House Arrest

#QuiltBee: fabric for yellow house quilt blocks
I'm happy to report that all of my Huddle blocks are now complete! Given that, you would expect that I would start sewing them together to make a flimsy, right? Nope. Instead, I have gone the way of the squirrel and started a new project.

This project has been on my list for a few years now and with everyone still under pseudo 'house arrest' in these COVID-19 times it seemed sort of appropriate. To the top of the list it goes.

Besides, Halo is still occupying my design wall so I'd have to lay Huddle out on the floor - that just seemed like more than I wanted to do today.
Not sure if you know about Pandemic Chocolate Days or not so I'll fill you in (consider this a public service announcement...). My good friend Rhonda has been more than thoughtful throughout these days of social distancing. She lives about 5 hours away from me and every now and then a little note arrives in the mail with a cheery hello and an emergency ration of chocolate. Love it!




It is amazing how something so small can have a huge impact on my day; it certainly helped me get through the cutting 😊. Recently, I found little individually wrapped Dairy Milk bars so it's time to return the favour.

It is rainy and cool today after a week of what felt like August, so down to the sewing room I went. I'm enjoying making these blocks more than I had anticipated - loving the dots too!....M

  1. All those yellow fabrics are so cheerful and your house block is delightful with all those pokadots. I think your newest squirrel project is going to be fun especially with chocolate involved.

  3. Oh, I love your yellow house block! The dotty fabric is very cheery. I can totally understand about having to move a project or having to lay something out on the floor being too much effort at the moment. I confess to keeping a small stash of chocolate in my quilting room. Sometimes it's just too much trouble to go downstairs to find a snack and I'm kind of afraid that if I wander downstairs in the middle of something I might just give up for the day. lol
