Trying to get back in the routine...

Yes, I have been away from blogging for a good part of the season.  It has been a weird summer.  It hasn't been horrible but it has had its challenges (Roscoe's Pa extra busy with consulting jobs and me with pneumonia for weeks and weeks with lots of drama due to something abnormal with my x-rays that resulted some further 'investigating'.)  I am fine now and the challenges have left me noticing that the sweetness in my grandkid's faces is a little sweeter, and colors are more vivid, and the breeze is more refreshing...and well, you get the idea.  Anyway, I am getting my life back together.

And, I am finally sewing again!  I finished some UFO's in the past couple of weeks.  I didn't take many photos as I was out of my blogging routine.  Here's a stocking I made for my newest granddaughter to match the family collection I've blogged about in the past. 

 This weekend I began working with my Aboriginal collection that I have shown you off and on earlier in the year.  And I am having lots of fun.  I love this fabric and have four quilts in my head with a possible string quilt somewhere along the way.  I even ordered MORE Aboriginal fabric from Canton Village Quiltworks this morning.  I have started cutting the first pieces to make two quilts for special relatives that I hope don't read my blog!  While the basic concept is the same, I'll be making each quilt unique and learning a few things about color along the way.  I'll post progress and you can see what I mean!

Thanks so much for stopping by!  I really appreciate my blog friendships!
