A little bit of sewing . . .

I'm always relieved when the holidays have passed.

I don't know why . . . . I don't go over board on much,

just the eating part . . .  it should be the exercising part, but well, you know.

I do always try to maintain some sense of normal,

which means a bit of sewing squeezed in as much as possible.

So I am pleased that I was able to finish this baby quilt in one week.

It started last Sunday, before Christmas, at Earamicha's 

house with David.  

We decided to get together to have a little sweat shop sewing.

It was that very warm day, 70* in NYC, 

so yes there really was sweating!

I was able to cut and sew all the blocks for a disappearing nine patch.

Then this past Friday night, I cut them all up and laid them out.

I bit a sewing while watching a movie and it came together quick!

Sunday brought quilting.

Love my Juki!

And now a bit of binding before I hit the sack.

Here is the inspiration quilt I saw a few weeks 

ago at the Quilt Shop in Danbury, CT.

My quilt measures 30" by 38"

The original squares before cutting were 2.5"

This baby quilt is a donation for our NYC Metro Mod Guild.

Hope you all enjoyed your holidays and are relaxing too!
